Abstract:

This dissertation investigates the processing of ellipsis, in particular the
ellipsis type Gapping and its sub-type Stripping. After a thorough review of
the theoretical and experimental background on Gapping (and Stripping),
five electrophysiological studies are reported – including one replication
study. Using the method of event-related potentials, questions are tackled
regarding the nature of syntactic, semantic and prosodic processes and how
they interplay. Two mechanisms described in the theoretical literature –
“Copy ↵” and “cue-based retrieval” – are drawn upon to connect theory to
processing. It is true that a mapping between existing theoretical insights
and actual processing may be problematic, however, commensurate with
theoretical insights, all experimental findings underscore the
multidimensional nature of Gapping and Stripping. It is further argued that
ellipsis resolution is sustained by a two-stage mechanism that is based on
retrieval and integration processes.
