Meeting Description:

Initial work on ellipsis focused heavily on the phenomena of
VP-ellipsis. While this has been a productive area of study, its
relevance to South Asian languages has remained somewhat limited,
largely due to the uncertainty regarding whether VP-ellipsis occurs in
these languages (see Manetta 2011, 2019, 2021). However, it has long
been recognized that ellipsis can also take place at the clausal
level, a phenomenon we refer to as 'Big Ellipsis.' The most well-known
example of 'Big Ellipsis' is Sluicing.

Recent work by Kush (2016), Alok & Messick (2021), and Mishra (2024)
have argued that phenomena as varied as Gapping, Stripping, and
Relative Deletion also involve ellipsis of clausal constituents. We
know that sluicing is well attested in South Asian languages (Balusu
2016 for Telugu, Leung 2018 for Tamil), but the crosslinguistic
distribution of the other `Big Ellipsis’ phenomena remains to be
explored fully. The one-day workshop will feature discussions on Big
Ellipsis from invited speakers, offering in-depth perspectives on the
topic.
