Abstract

AbstractThis chapter focuses on a second major class of fragment constructions, those that stand in freely for canonical VPs. Within this class there are two major types, VP ellipsis (1a) and do X anaphora (1b); X happen anaphora (1c) is a variant of the latter. Pseudo-gapping (1d) is still another type. Within NPs, one-anaphora (1e) has characteristics parallel to do X anaphora. Two recent arguments that there is syntactic structure in the ellipted (that is, invisible) part of the ellipsis construction are considered. A summary of both Chapters 7 and 8 is presented.
