T1 Scope parallelism and the resolution of ellipsis at the syntax-semantics interface
A1 Gutiérrez Rexach, Javier
AB In this paper several scope asymmetries in VP ellipsis constructions inEnglish and Spanish are studied. It is argued that an approach based onFox' (1995 a,b) Ellipsis Scope Generalization faces numerous conceptualand empirical problems. Ellipsis resolution is conceived of as a phenomenonbelonging to the conceptual-intentional pan of the computational systemthat is conditioned by the computation of the semantic features of quantifiersat LF. A semantic approach inspired in higher order unification theoriesof ellipsis is defended. This approach is compatible with the overallphilosophy of minimalist grammar: the process of higher-order unificationcomplies with the principle of inclusiveness (Chomsk-y. 19 or projectionfrom the lexicon because the relevant semantic equations are set up andresolved at a discourse level, but they are determined by featuresensitiveLogical Forms.
