Abstract
Cyclic Linearization is adopted to account for the island repair of Sluicing in English.

The derivation can be rescued by deleting all ordering statements in IP, including those conflicting ones. Two arguments concerning Complex NP Constraint (relative clause) and Adjunct Island support the proposal.
