TY - JOUR AB - <p>A yes/no question fragment (YNQF) is an incomplete sentence that is<br>nonetheless interpreted as a full yes/no question. I argue that those YNQF's<br>are derived from an underlying syntactic structure through a process of deletion.<br>First, I shall adduce evidence for the claim that ellipsis is involved by<br>looking at connectivity effects (Merchant 2004), such as case-matching, binding<br>and control. Next, I will consider the nature of the process of deletion in<br>these fragments. I claim that the deletion in question is phonological in<br>nature. Evidence comes from cases of nonconstituent deletion and contrasts<br>between Dutch and English YNQFs.</p> AU - Karen De Clercq DA - 2008/1// DO - 10.21825/kzm.v62i0.17434 IS - 0 VL - 62 PB - Koninklijke Zuid-Nederlandse Maatschappij voor Taal- en Letterkunde en Geschiedenis PY - 2008 TI - Fonologische deletie in ja-neevraagfragmenten T2 - Handelingen - Koninklijke Zuid-Nederlandse maatschappij voor taal- en letterkunde en geschiedenis UR - https://openjournals.ugent.be/kzm/article/id/72110/ ER -
