Somerville, MA: Cascadilla Proceedings Project.978-1-57473-428-7http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.InstRepos:37086244In this paper the author claims on the basis of Polish data that: (1) Sluicing does not alleviate islands, just like VP ellipsis; (2) Ellipsis is not licensed by syntactic identity (no PF, LF Islands, or trace deletion); (3) There is syntactic structure in the ellipsis site; (4) ellipsis is licensed by a recoverability condition--if there is enough information in the non-elided signal, ellipsis is acceptable, including case-mismatches, PP stranding violations, adjunct islands, etc.en-USConference Paper2012-06-26
