Abstract:

This book investigates the syntactic phenomenon of ellipsis and the linguistic
forces that trigger it. It presents the results of a corpus-based study which
takes into account grammatical, semantic/discursive, usage-related and
processing variables.

Evelyn Gandón-Chapela builds upon the few empirical works on ellipsis in
Present-day English to offer the first comparative analysis of ellipsis and
its development throughout the recent history of the English language.
Moreover, the book also provides a complex query algorithm which automatically
detects and retrieves cases of ellipsis, leading to successful recall ratios,
applicable to a wide range of parsed corpora.
