A unified approach to VP-ellipsis and VP-anaphora
View through CrossRef
It is known that VP-ellipsis and VP-anaphora are typologically different phenomena. English has
VP-ellipses whereas Korean has VP-anaphora. The goals of this paper are (i) to develop a unified
algorithm which can analyze these two different phenomena and (ii) to explain them using the
developed resolution algorithm. In order to analyze these phenomena, this paper incorporates
Jager's anaphora resolution mechanism (2010) into the typed feature structure formalism of
Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG). In this paper, VP-ellipsis and VP-anaphora are analyzed
as follows. First, English do and Korean kuleha-ta are introduced with the Geach value, and this
value is changed with a slash-elimination rule. Then, one constituent combines with another by
ordinary syntactic rules, while the information on the target predicate is percolated up. When a
potential source appears, a slash-introduction rule is applied. Then, the source predicate activates
the VP-resolution rule, and the target predicate is connected with the source in the semantic
representations.

Title: A unified approach to VP-ellipsis and VP-anaphora
Description:
It is known that VP-ellipsis and VP-anaphora are typologically different phenomena.
English has
VP-ellipses whereas Korean has VP-anaphora.
The goals of this paper are (i) to develop a unified
algorithm which can analyze these two different phenomena and (ii) to explain them using the
developed resolution algorithm.
In order to analyze these phenomena, this paper incorporates
Jager's anaphora resolution mechanism (2010) into the typed feature structure formalism of
Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG).
In this paper, VP-ellipsis and VP-anaphora are analyzed
as follows.
First, English do and Korean kuleha-ta are introduced with the Geach value, and this
value is changed with a slash-elimination rule.
Then, one constituent combines with another by
ordinary syntactic rules, while the information on the target predicate is percolated up.
When a
potential source appears, a slash-introduction rule is applied.
Then, the source predicate activates
the VP-resolution rule, and the target predicate is connected with the source in the semantic
representations.
