TY - JOUR A1 - Kosta, Peter T1 - Syntax ticha (VP-elipsa / gapping a IP-elipsa / sluicing) v cestine a anglictine, aneb: jak ziskat a teoreticky popsat neco, co nei viditelne v korpusu? N2 - "Syntax of silence (VP-ellipsis/gapping and IP-ellipsis/sluicing) in Czech and English, or: how to obtain and theoretically describe something that is not visible in the corpus?" Despite the stated primary goal of this article to investigate sluicing, any discussion of the general conditions on ellipsis must begin with the best investigated case, namely VP ellipsis in Czech and English. I therefort start with these cases, describing the general results in this area, and then move on to see how these results apply to sluicing, returning briefly to VP-ellipsis. The Czech data are taken from the Czech National Corpus (CNK) whereas the theory and methodology as well as the English data are taken from the PhD dissertation by Jason Merchand (2001) Y1 - 2004 UR - https://publishup.uni-potsdam.de/frontdoor/index/index/docId/14343 SN - 80-210-3595-1 ER -
