Abstract

Abstract Gapping elides a finite verb in the non-initial conjunct of a coordinate structure while VP ellipsis deletes a whole VP after an auxiliary. Unlike these two, pseudogapping elides most of the VP except one remnant. Pseudogapping additionally differs from gapping and VP ellipsis, in that it involves ellipsis of part of a non-finite VP. In this paper we provide a Construction Grammar account of pseudogapping that captures its similarities with as well as differences from other related elliptical constructions like VP ellipsis. Our construction-based analysis, which capitalizes on the inheritance network of constructions to capture broad similarities and unique differences among these constructions, allows us to account for the full range of extant data.

英语中的假语现象：一种直接的解释方法

在并列结构的非起始连词中，Gapping省略了一个有限动词，而VP省略删除了助词后的整个VP。与这两种不同的是，伪间隙消除了除一个残留物外的大部分VP。伪间断与间断和VP省略的另一个不同之处在于，它涉及非有限VP的一部分的省略。在这篇文章中，我们提供了一个关于假间隙的结构语法描述，它捕捉到了它与其他相关的省略结构（如VP省略）的相似之处以及不同之处。我们基于构造的分析利用构造的继承网络来捕捉这些构造之间的广泛相似性和独特差异，使我们能够解释现存的全部数据。
