Parallelism and Prosody in the Processing of Ellipsis Sentences


Add your own review!

Overview

This thesis presents pioneering work on the processing of a variety of distinct types of ellipsis sentences, concentrating on the role played by focus, intonation and parallelism. Through rigorous and well-documented experiments, the author shows that no special mechanisms are needed to process ellipsis sentences and that the effects of parallelism and prosody follow from properties observed in the processing of nonelided sentences. While much is known about the processing of nonelided sentences, this book sheds valuable insights into the relatively little is known problem of processing ellipsis sentences.
