초록
Ellipsis has been one of the best studied and most intriguing subjects in syntax and semantics over the last forty years since Ross's seminal 1969 article. Although it has drawn keen and immense attention, it has remained largely unanswered why elliptical utterances are so frequently used in our daily conversation. Instead, the main focus of the ellipsis studies has been on questions such as how ellipsis is resolved, whether there is syntactic structure internal to the ellipsis site, and whether the identity requirement on ellipsis is syntactic or semantic. Few attempts have been made to explicate the reasons why ellipsis is prevalent. This study is an attempt to fill that gap. We explore what pragmatic and metapragmatic roles elliptical utterances can play and point out that they have important metapragmatic functions. Whether it is intrasentential or not, ellipsis can serve the fundamental communicative goals of maintaining a smooth conversation and carrying out risk management. Thus this study sheds new light on one of the most central and long-overdue questions in the study of ellipsis, and has important implications for understanding the relations between syntax and pragmatics.
Abstract
Ellipsis has been one of the best studied and most intriguing subjects in syntax and semantics over the last forty years since Ross's seminal 1969 article. Although it has drawn keen and immense attention, it has remained largely unanswered why elliptical utterances are so frequently used in our daily conversation. Instead, the main focus of the ellipsis studies has been on questions such as how ellipsis is resolved, whether there is syntactic structure internal to the ellipsis site, and whether the identity requirement on ellipsis is syntactic or semantic. Few attempts have been made to explicate the reasons why ellipsis is prevalent. This study is an attempt to fill that gap. We explore what pragmatic and metapragmatic roles elliptical utterances can play and point out that they have important metapragmatic functions. Whether it is intrasentential or not, ellipsis can serve the fundamental communicative goals of maintaining a smooth conversation and carrying out risk management. Thus this study sheds new light on one of the most central and long-overdue questions in the study of ellipsis, and has important implications for understanding the relations between syntax and pragmatics.
