Derivational Timing of Ellipsis

This volume explores the nature of ellipsis, the core phenomenon that results in various types of omission in sentences. The chapters adopt the popular 'silent structure' accounts of ellipsis, and investigate the question of when linguistic material becomes silenced during the derivation and realization of syntactic structure.

Über den Autor / die Autorin

Güliz Güneş is a University Lecturer in the Department of English Linguistics at the University of Tübingen. Her main area of research is prosody and its interfaces with syntax, morphology, and discourse structure. She has focused primarily on the prosody of Turkish, and has also investigated the relationship between prosody and ellipsis in English, Dutch, Icelandic, and Hungarian.

Anikó Lipták is an Associate Professor at the Leiden University Centre for Linguistics (LUCL), where she is a member of the Theoretical and Experimental Linguistics research group. Her main field of research is comparative syntax and the syntax of Hungarian, and she has published extensively on elliptical phenomena. She is currently researching issues concerning the syntactic structure of elliptical utterances and the interaction between ellipsis and morphology.
