Proceedings of the 24th West Coast Conference on Formal Linguistics edited by John Alderete, Chung-hye Han, and Alexei Kochetov ISBN 1-57473-407-5 library binding vi + 405 pages publication date: 2005 published by Cascadilla Proceedings Project, Somerville, MA, USA Table of contents Abstract Masaya Yoshida The Rightward Movement Analysis of Gapping in NP and Its Structural Implications 388-396 (complete pdf) This paper investigates gapping constructions in NP (Nominal Gapping). Through a detailed comparison with well-known gapping in the verbal domain (Verbal Gapping), the author argues that both of the constructions are best analyzed as ellipsis followed by the rightward movement of complement phrases. The author further shows that the study of Nominal Gapping provides a window into the internal structure of NP and AP. |
