Here Gu?nther examines 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. 410 0$aRoutledge Studies in Germanic Linguistics 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general$xEllipsis 606 $aEnglish language$xNoun phrase 606 $aGerman language$xNoun phrase 606 $aComparison (Grammar) 606 $aGerman language$xGrammar, Comparative$xEnglish 606 $aEnglish language$xGrammar, Comparative$xGerman 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general$xSyntax 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general$xEllipsis. 615 0$aEnglish language$xNoun phrase. 615 0$aGerman language$xNoun phrase. 615 0$aComparison (Grammar) 615 0$aGerman language$xGrammar, Comparative$xEnglish. 615 0$aEnglish language$xGrammar, Comparative$xGerman. 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general$xSyntax. 676 $a425/.5 700 $aGunther$b Christine$f1981-,$01623527 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826794103321 996 $aThe elliptical noun phrase in English$93957949 997 $aUNINA
