Video 16.2: LF Copying or PF Deletion

Andrew Carnie presents Syntax: A Generative Introduction 4E. Wiley Blackwell. Video 16.2: LF Copying or PF Deletion This video compares two hypothesis about how the content of VP ellipsis and Sluicing is recovered. Data from the strict and sloppy readings of anaphors in VP ellipsis is presented as an argument for LF-copying. Data from restrictions on preposition stranding in sluicing is given as an argument for PF-deletion. Please purchase the book: https://www.wiley.com/en-us/Syntax%3A...
