Abstract:

In this book, I propose a grammar fragment which accounts for the main
properties of two elliptical constructions (‘lacking’ for the verbal head)
called gapping (1a) and verbless relative adjuncts (therefore, VRA) (1b)
respectively.

(1) a. Jean aime les pommes [et Marie les bananes]. 'Jean likes apples and
Maria bananas' 

b. Plusieurs personnes sont venues cette semaine, [dont Marie (hier)].
'Several people have come this week, among which Marie yesterday'

We mainly argue for the fact that elliptical clauses in gapping and VRA
constructions don’t behave as regular verbal clauses. Their syntactic and
semantic properties don’t provide evidence for deriving this kind of
elliptical clause from a complete clause. An analysis in terms of syntactic
reconstruction of the missing material is therefore inadequate. Thus, the
elliptical clause in both constructions (gapping and VRA) has a specific
syntactic behaviour and must be assigned an independent status in the grammar,
more precisely the status of a fragmentary clause, that is a syntactic unit
having a propositional content of message type, but an incomplete syntax. This
dissertation gives new arguments in favor of a semantic reconstruction with
parallelism constraints, cf. Ginzburg & Sag (2000), Culicover & Jackendoff
(2005).
