Routledge The Elliptical Noun Phrase in English - Linguistics Book

Explore the structural and pragmatic aspects of noun ellipsis in English with this academic study from Routledge. Part of the Routledge Studies in Germanic Linguistics series, this book offers a deep look into how elliptical noun phrases function within the English language. Author Christine Gunther examines the specific conditions that govern noun ellipsis and the process of one-insertion. By looking at the parallels between these two areas, the text provides a clear framework for understanding linguistic patterns. The study also addresses the use of noun ellipsis with adjectives, a topic that has received little research in the past. To support these findings, the book draws on data from the British National Corpus, ensuring the analysis is grounded in real-world linguistic evidence. This is an essential resource for students, researchers, and academics interested in grammar, structure, and syntax.
