Synopsis "ellipsis and nonsentential speech"

the papers in this volume address two main topics:q1: what is the nature, and especially the scope, of ellipsis in natural language? q2: what are the linguistic/philosophical implications of what one takes the nature/scope of ellipsis to be? each of these main topics includes a large sub-part that deals specifically with nonsentential speech. within the first main topic, q1, there arises the sub-issue of whether nonsentential speech falls within the scope of ellipsis or not; within the second main topic, q2, there arises the sub-issue of what linguistic/philosophical implications follow, if nonsentential speech does/does not count as ellipsis. this book is unique in that it offers the reader; papers on the boundary between philosophy and linguistics, applications of advanced work in theoretical linguistics to traditional philosophical questions, it is the only volume of papers ever published on sub-sentential speech, major contribution to our understanding of ellipsis in natural language, presently a central topic in syntactic theory. this book is of interest to professionals and advanced graduate students in the fields of philosophy of language, semantics, and syntax.
