Abstract:

The dissertation investigates the interaction of various kinds of
phonologically weak items (clitics) with different types of elliptical
operations (mainly VP-ellipsis and sluicing). The main focus of the work is on
what this interaction can reveal about the timing of ellipsis and
cliticization.

The first part of the dissertation investigates the interaction of VP-ellipsis
and second position cliticization in Serbo-Croatian and Slovenian and reveals
crucial differences between the two languages in this respect: it is argued
that second position cliticization is phonological in nature in the former and
syntactic in the latter. The second part focuses on preposition omission under
sluicing in Russian. It is argued that the operation of preposition omission
is sensitive to the prosodic organization of the prepositional phrase.

This dissertation is of relevance to those interested in the nature of
cliticization, the timing of ellipsis and prosodic restrictions on elliptical
operations.
