On the interaction of portmanteaux and ellipsis
… is an investigation of what happens when an ellipsis boundary tries to split a portmanteau. It focuses on two patterns: elliptical indivisibility, and elliptical divisibility. Elliptical indivisibility is exemplified by the Hungarian portmanteau negative 3rd person indicative copula, which …

Native and Non-native Grammars of Chinese Gapping-like Verb Ellipsis
… L2 acquisition of Chinese gapping-like VBE (Verb Ellipsis), which indicates that learnability issues are not specific to interfaces. The present study regards L1-L2 asymmetry as the primary cause for the persistent non-nativelike L2 attainment at both the narrow syntax level and the interface …

Ellipsis in science and technology textbooks in English: Implications for Thai students
… problems and strategies in relation to ellipsis were also examined. The subjects for the study were 60 first year students from King Mongkut's Institute of Technology North Bangkok (KMITNB) who had enrolled in two compulsory English courses in KMITNB, Bangkok, Thailand. The instruments …

The syntax of comparative constructions : operators, ellipsis phenomena and functional left peripheries
… Fifth, the dissertation accounts for optional ellipsis processes that play a crucial role in the derivation of typical comparative subclauses. These processes are not directly related to the structure of degree expressions and hence the elimination of the quantified expression from the …

Exploring the degree of native-likeness in bilingual acquisition: second and heritage language acquisition of Korean case-ellipsis
… attain implicit knowledge of Korean case ellipsis (CE) that necessitates integration of multiple types of information and poses many learnability problems for the learners. The present research examines similarities and differences between the different types of bilinguals as well as …

Particle Ellipses in Japanese
In this study I consider two kinds of particle ellipsis, syntactic particle ellipsis and conversational particle ellipsis. Syntactic particle ellipsis (discussed in Chapter 1) is the type of particle ellipsis caused by certain syntactic conditions. Only case particles are ellipted under these …

Consideraciones teóricas acerca de la elipsis: Repercusiones semánticas y lexicográficas de la elipsis originadas en combinatoria léxica
Ellipsis arises in the framework of the economy of language, a well known tendency in languages. It is defined by removal of elements within the lineal disposition of discourse without any changing of meaning. However, the term ellipsis originated by lexical combination create more specific …

Fake Feature and Valuation From Context
… account of a persisting puzzle in the theory of ellipsis and association with focus: the fact that φ-featural content on full DPs and on bound pronouns can sometimes be ignored in focus alternatives and in calculating identity for ellipsis (‘Fake Features’). I present new data about gender and …

Syntax and Prosody of Coordination
… to be higher than where I claim, I argue that ellipsis has occurred to obscure the actual size of coordination and the position of the coordinators. In my syntactic theory of coordination, ellipsis is a veil that obscures the underlying syntax of coordination. In the second part of this thesis, …

Chinese Null and Covert Arguments and their Behaviours in L2 Chinese Grammars
… be viewed as the result of movement and ellipsis (e.g., Holmberg, 2015) (gaps resulting from ellipsis are referred to hereafter as ‘covert arguments’ to distinguish them from ‘null arguments’). Given that previous L2 studies have overlooked the role of ellipsis in accounting for perceived …

Efficient system auditing for real-time systems
… and the audit subsystem. Our approach, Ellipsis, generates succinct behaviors of RT application and retains a lossless record of process activity, enabling analysis/detection of unexpected activity while meeting temporal constraints. Our evaluation of Ellipsis, using ArduPilot (an …

Subset comparatives as comparative quantifiers
… entails that subset comparatives are formed via ellipsis of a clausal source; I provide evidence for this claim and against previous analyses that give subset comparatives a phrasal analysis.

Non-verbal argument structure : evidence from Tagalog

Embodying conversational characteristics in a graphical user interface
