The Syntax of Silence: Sluicing, Islands, and the Theory of Ellipsis - Oxford Studies in Theoretical Linguistics

This work focuses on the form of ellipsis known as sluicing, a feature of interrogative clauses, such as in "Sally's out hunting - guess what!"; and "Someone called, but I can't tell you who". The phenomenon is studied across 24 languages to try to explain it in linguistic and behavioural terms.
