Lecture: Nominal Ellipsis in Mandarin

An nP-shell approach

In this paper, we discuss three types of Mandarin nominal ellipsis: D-Ellipsis, NP(N')-Ellipsis, and N-Gapping. Mandarin D-Ellipsis have VPE analysis and NOC analysis two approaches. And Mandarin NP(N')-Ellipsis can be divided into DE construction ellipsis and Classifiers construction ellipses based on their different licensors. As for N-Gapping, Mandarin has three kinds: parallel constructions, multiple attributemodifier constructions, and comparative constructions. There are many similarities between Mandarin NPE and English, at the same time, Mandarin classifiers and quantifiers NPE are quite different from English.
