Kempson, Cann, Gregoromichelaki, and Chatzikyriakidis (henceforth KCGC) offer us a plethora of wonderful phenomena which they argue can be best modeled using a dynamic syntax that has modular resources, addressing a range of what appear to be elliptical data. The authors also show that the suggestions that were made in Merchant (2004) regarding “correctives and multi-speaker cooperative sentence construction and certain confirmatory, clarificational, and elaborative fragments” (p. 709) fail to cover the full range of data. Their paper represents a laudatory step toward building a system of syntax that is fully responsive to questions of incremental parsing, an issue highlighted by Phillips and Parker (2014), for example. Here I will concentrate particularly on their proposals about the nature of fragments and ellipsis. KCGC discuss the following kinds of data in this domain, which I will organize into five groups (the numbers refer to the example numbers in the KCGC paper).

财富的尴尬？切掉椭圆形的馅饼

Kempson，Cann，Gregoromichelaki和Chatzikyriakidis（此后称为KCGC）为我们提供了许多奇妙的现象，他们认为可以使用具有模块化资源的动态语法来最好地建模，以解决一系列看起来像椭圆数据的问题。作者还表明，Merchant（2004）中提出的有关“纠正和多说话者合作句的构建以及某些确认性，澄清性和详尽的片段”的建议（第709页）未能涵盖全部数据。他们的论文代表着迈出了建设性的语法体系的第一步，该体系完全响应增量解析的问题，例如Phillips和Parker（2014）所强调的问题。在这里，我将特别关注他们关于片段和省略号的性质的建议。
