Abstract

Abstract This remark offers arguments against recent challenges to analyses that postulate verb‐stranding VP ellipsis (Idan Landau, “On the nonexistence of verb‐stranding VP‐ellipsis,” 2020, Linguistic Inquiry 51.2.341–365; Satoshi Oku, “A note on ellipsis‐resistant constituents,” 2016, Nanzan Linguistics 11.56–70). The article defends the verb‐stranding‐VP‐ellipsis hypothesis, arguing that it remains the strongest hypothesis available to account for many instances of ellipsis with null objects in languages such as Hindi, Bangla, and Japanese.

为动词搁浅VP省略辩护

这一评论为最近对假设动词-搁浅VP省略的分析提出了挑战(Idan Landau，“On the nonexistence of动词-搁浅VP省略”，2020,Linguistic Inquiry 51.2.341-365;Satoshi Oku，“关于省略号抵抗成分的注释”，2016,Nanzan语言学11.56-70)。这篇文章为动词-滞留- VP -省略假设进行了辩护，认为它仍然是解释诸如印地语、孟加拉语和日语等语言中许多带有空对象的省略实例的最有力假设。

期刊介绍： Syntax publishes a wide range of articles on the syntax of natural languages and closely related fields. The journal promotes work on formal syntactic theory and theoretically-oriented descriptive work on particular languages and comparative grammar. Syntax also publishes research on the interfaces between syntax and related fields such as semantics, morphology, and phonology, as well as theoretical and experimental studies in sentence processing, language acquisition, and other areas of psycholinguistics that bear on syntactic theories. In addition to full length research articles, Syntax features short articles which facilitate a fast review process. ''In the few years of its existence, Syntax quickly became one of the most prominent journals in the field, and unique as a source for high-quality studies at the forefront of research, combining theoretical inquiry and often significant innovation with outstanding descriptive and experimental work. It is indispensable for researchers in the areas it covers.'' Noam Chomsky, Massachusets Institute of Technology, USA
