- W632369080 abstract "This thesis investigates the derivation of elliptical constructions, with special reference to the historical changes in the history of English. It is argued that the feature makeup of a certain category can be changed, and this change is referred to as reanalysis in this thesis. Reanalysis is not a mechanism which directly affects the surface word order, but the one which affects the feature makeup of a certain category. It is shown that the loss of the morphological realization of agreement is related to reanalysis. Chapter 2 investigates the correlation among the loss of adjectival inflection, the decline of N-adjectives, and the rise of the prop-word one. It is revealed by the result of the corpus-based research. The correlation among these historical events is explained by proposing the LF-copy analysis employing an empty, non-arbitrary viii pronominal E-pro. In N-adjectives, E-pro is generated within a DP, and licensed when all the unvalued features within the DP are valued through Agree. In addition, it is identified when the result of the relevant Agree is morphologically realized on D. Therefore, the interpretability of φ-features on determiners and adjectives is responsible for the availability of N-adjectives. The historical fact that the adjectival inflection was lost in ME is linked to an instance of reanalysis. The feature makeup of adjectives was changed from lexically valued φ-features to unvalued φ-features. This change accounts for the declined of N-adjectives and the rise of the prop-word one. It is shown that the proposed analysis is supported by the availability of genitive N-adjectives and the distribution of the prop-word one in PE. Chapter 3 investigates the derivation of VPE in English, focusing on the fact that English has allowed only Modal-stranding VPE throughout its history. This fact is successfully explained by the LF-copy analysis employing E-pro without suffering from the problems brought about by the presence of V-to-T movement in OE and ME It is proposed that E-pro as VPE is licensed by the Agree relation between u-φ on T and i-φ on the external argument of the infinitival v*P. This Agree relation is necessary to the identification of E-pro: subject-verb agreement is responsible for the identification of E-pro. The proposed analysis successfully rules out the possibility of Lexical-V-stranding VPE in OE and ME, which is wrongly predicted by the feature-driven deletion analysis proposed by Merchant (2001, 2008) and Goldberg (2005). At the same time, the present analysis also explains the distribution of VPE in PE and French Modal Ellipsis. Chapter 4 investigates the derivation of pseudogapping in English. Unlike the general assumption that pseudogapping is a variant of VPE, this thesis treats them in ix different ways: VPE is derived by the LF-copy analysis, but pseudogapping is by the PF-deletion analysis. The argument is involved with the way the remnant is extracted from the elided constituent. It is proposed that pseudogapping can be derived by either leftward A-movement or rightward A′-movement. The proposed analysis is preferable to the previous analyses, because the latter postulates some movement operations special to pseudogapping which otherwise are not attested in English. In addition, the proposed analysis successfully explains the historical fact: pseudogapping has been possible only when pre-modals or modals are employed. Chapter 5 is the conclusion of the thesis and summarizes the proposals made in each chapter." @default.
