Abstract
We report on verb stranding ellipsis in Chukchansi, a highly endangered Northern Valley Yokuts language of Central California. (Collord 1968, Whistler and Golla 1986). The data include elliptical phenomena in multi-valent complex predicate environments. The behavior in elliptical contexts suggest that Chukchansi makes extensive use of internal argument ellipsis, thereby providing additional evidence for internal argument ellipsis in verb stranding languages (Takahashi 2013, Landau 2018, 2020; cf., Goldberg 2005, Gribanova 2013a/b, McCloskey 2017).
