The Elliptical Noun Phrase in English: Structure and Use
Christine GüntherThis book presents a detailed analysis of structural as well as pragmatic aspects
underlying the phenomenon of noun ellipsis in English. Günther analyses the
structure of elliptical noun phrases to account for the conditions on noun ellipsis
and those on one-insertion, with special emphasis on the (oft-neglected) parallels between the two. She also examines the use of noun ellipsis with adjectives
in order to shed light on this under-researched phenomenon, drawing on data
from the British National Corpus.
Christine Günther is a research associate at the Institut für Deutsche Sprache in
Mannheim, Germany. Holding a Ph.D. in English linguistics, she is currently working on the German language from a comparative perspective
