Su questo libro

Descrizione del libro

Ellipsis occurs when certain portions of a sentence are unspoken - for example 'Jack called, but I don't know where [he called] from'. This volume proposes new and original solutions to some key questions in the study of ellipsis, making progress towards solving some central problems in syntactic and semantic theory.
