초록
VP-ellipsis and other cases of ellipsis differ in their tolerance for voice mismatches such that the former allows mismatches in voice between the elided VP and its antecedent while the latter does not. This paper is to suggest an account for the voice mismatch asymmetry after discussing both some empirical and theoretical shortcomings of Merchant's account (2007, 2008). It will be argued that it is not the value of voice, but the different structure of passive and active, that is responsible for the voice mismatch asymmetry. Thus the new account eventually supports the argument that the identity condition for ellipsis must be interpreted as the syntactic identity, more specifically, the phrase marker identity. In other words accounts based on the semantic interpretation of the identity condition fall short of explaining the voice mismatch asymmetry.
Abstract
VP-ellipsis and other cases of ellipsis differ in their tolerance for voice mismatches such that the former allows mismatches in voice between the elided VP and its antecedent while the latter does not. This paper is to suggest an account for the voice mismatch asymmetry after discussing both some empirical and theoretical shortcomings of Merchant's account (2007, 2008). It will be argued that it is not the value of voice, but the different structure of passive and active, that is responsible for the voice mismatch asymmetry. Thus the new account eventually supports the argument that the identity condition for ellipsis must be interpreted as the syntactic identity, more specifically, the phrase marker identity. In other words accounts based on the semantic interpretation of the identity condition fall short of explaining the voice mismatch asymmetry.
