The Revised Split Relative Clause for Antecedent-Contained Deletion

Lee, Chang-Su

(U1 University, Professor)

This paper aims to provide an analysis of antecedent-contained deletion (ACD) which is compatible both with the copy theory of movement and with the cyclic Spell-Out hypothesis. For this, this paper revises Ding’s (2013) split relative clause account for ACD. The core of the revision is to assume that the relative clause containing the ellipsis site (RCE) is adjoined not to vP but to VP. This assumption is supported by three pieces of empirical evidence presented in Sato (2013). This paper’s proposal can account for the correlation between ACD and NPI, NP-contained ACD. Under this paper’s analysis, the RCE and the normal relative clause are differentiated with respect to the adjunction site. This phenomenon may be interpreted as the consequence of last resort. This paper has no explanation for Tiedeman’s puzzle. But we may find the possibility of its resolution in Chomsky’s (2004) afterthought account. Although this paper’s proposal is not perfect, ACD can be given a better explanation by it.
