{"product_id":"pseudogapping-and-ellipsis-kirsten-gengel-9780199665310","title":"Pseudogapping and Ellipsis","description":"This book is all about ellipsis in natural language - the phenomena in which words and phrases go missing in the linguistic signal, but are nonethe less interpreted by the receiver, eg in the following sentence, the second instance of \u003cem\u003eread\u003c\/em\u003e is understood whether or not it is spoken \u003cem\u003eClaire read a book and Heather [read] a magazine\u003c\/em\u003e. Contemporary theoretical linguistics has described several forms of ellipsis in English, and different syntactic mechanisms have been proposed which account for their structures. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eKirsten Gengel investigates pseudogapping, which, she proposes, is one variety of ellipsis. At the heart of her discussion lies the interaction between \u003cem\u003efocus\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003edeletion\u003c\/em\u003e. Her analysis - which draws on new research in Icelandic, Norwegian, Danish, and Dutch, as well as data from Portuguese, French, and English - provides a novel approach to not only this particular form of ellipsis but to the derivation of ellipsis in general, and has the potential of unifying several elliptical phenomena in generative grammar.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kirsten Gengel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0199665311\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199665310\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/08\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 204\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.60d","brand":"Kirsten Gengel","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48453296881919,"sku":"9780199665310","price":76.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4b6f09ad-ee6c-4e90-833c-50314d31aefc.jpg?v=1777299408","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pseudogapping-and-ellipsis-kirsten-gengel-9780199665310","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
