Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kirsten Gengel investigates pseudogapping, which, she proposes, is one variety of ellipsis in natural language.

Her novel approach, which draws on new empirical data from many languages, has the potential of unifying several elliptical phenomena in generative grammar.
