He proposes instead that the gap in gapping arises through \u0091low coordination\u0092 and across-the-board movement. I first show that Johnson\u0092s across-the-board movement account fails to generate gapping in coordination structures with corrective but (Vicente 2010, Toosarvandani, to appear). Then, I revive a version of the ellipsis account in which VP-ellipsis applies to low-coordination structures. Not only does this correctly generate gapping in corrective but sentences, but once the information-structural effects of low coordination and ellipsis are taken into consideration, it also derives the unique properties of gapping.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaker: Maziar Toosarvandani Title: Gapping is VP-ellipsis Date\/Time: Thursday, Oct 4, 12:30-1:45p Location: 32-D461 Johnson (2009) argues that gapping \u0097 e.g. &#8220;Some had ordered mussels, and others swordfish&#8221; \u0097 does not arise through VP-ellipsis because gapping has properties that VP-ellipsis does not.
