{"title":"Chapter 10. Null object constructions, VP-ellipsis, and sentence interpretation","authors":"H. Pan","doi":"10.1075/LFAB.15.10PAN","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1075/LFAB.15.10PAN","url":null,"abstract":"This paper discusses issues related to VP-Ellipsis and null object constructions in Mandarin Chinese. It consists of two parts. First, pace Li (1998), I argue that it is not true that no null object construction (NOC) sentences can be analyzed as VP -ellipsis in Mandarin Chinese, and I will show that the fact that the interpretation patterns of the relevant sentences deviate from those of their English counterparts is not because there is no VP-ellipsis in Chinese but because Chinese pronouns and reflexives exhibit some special properties. My claim in this paper is that some NOC sentences can be interpreted as VP -ellipsis, and others need to be interpreted as an empty pronoun, depending on whether the V-to-INFL raising occurs or not. Second, pace Kehler (1993), I argue that it is not the parallel vs. non-parallel distinction but the semantic and discourse constraints of coordinate constructions with too and ye 'also' in VP-ellipsis that explains why some VP-ellipsis sentences are ungrammatical. Hence, the coordination construction in neither English nor Chinese is constrained by the so-called syntactic condition which is based on the parallel vs. non-parallel distinction, as proposed in Kehler (1993), and discourse factors play a crucial role in the interpretation of coordination construction in the two languages concerned.","PeriodicalId":295724,"journal":{"name":"Language Faculty and Beyond","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127163050","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
