Gribanova (2013b) observes that when the antecedent clause for an object gap in Russian contains a disjunction of ditransitive VPs, the gap is interpreted as if it contained the disjunction, thus favoring a V‐stranding VP‐ellipsis (VSVPE) analysis over a simple Argument Ellipsis (AE) analysis. We show that VSVPE fails to predict the attested interpretation of the gap when the antecedent VP contains a conjunction. The data are fully explained by combining AE with a pragmatic (scalar) inference triggered in situations of indeterminate ellipsis resolution, leading to multiple “cycles” in the dynamic semantics.

具有协调前因的椭圆：V链VP省略号的替代方法

Gribanova（2013b）观察到，当俄语中的对象间隙的前提子句包含双传递VP的析取时，该间隙被解释为好像包含了该析取，因此倾向于使用V链VP省略号（VSVPE）分析，而不是简单的参数省略号（AE）分析。我们表明，VSVPE失败当先行VP包含一个预测的差距证明解释CON结。通过将AE与不确定的省略号解析情况下触发的语用（标量）推理相结合，可以充分解释数据，从而导致动态语义上的多个“循环”。
