Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The papers in this volume address two main topics: Q1: What is the nature, and especially the scope, of ellipsis in natural l- guage Q2: What are the linguistic/philosophical implications of what one takes the nature/scope of ellipsis to be As will emerge below, each of these main topics includes a large sub-part that deals speci cally with nonsentential speech.
