Abstract
We propose that forward and backward ellipsis should both be regardedas the non-insertion of the phonological form under the terminal nodes offully specied lexical-figrammatical feature matrices. We conceive of the creationof structures with VP ellipsis as the multiple selection from the lexiconof the lexical items relevant for the licensing and execution of ellipsisand enumerating them at the syntactic input in such away that they can satisfythe constraints of structural and referential parallelism. It is in this casethat the option of not inserting the phonological form may be chosen.
