In particular, the proposed account shows that Comparative Deletion is merely a surface phenomenon that can be drawn back to the overtness of the comparative operator and the availability of lower copies of a movement chain, and it is thus subject to both language-internal and cross-linguistic variation. The main focus of the book is on English, yet other languages are also discussed for comparative purposes, with the aim of showing what the idiosyncratic properties of English comparatives are.English languageDeletionLinguisticsAdjectiveEllipsisHungarian languageLexical verbPolish languagePredicate (grammar)Specifier (linguistics)SyntaxVerbVerb phrase ellipsisEnglish languageDeletion.Bacskai-Atkari Julia964503ES-MaCSIUkMaJRUBOOK9910283647103321Deletion phenomena in comparative constructions2188190UNINA
