Deletion phenomena in comparative constructions: English comparatives in a cross-linguistic perspective

What it is about

The book analyses English comparatives such as Ralph bought a bigger cat than Mike, where material after than is deleted, in a minimalist framework that keeps the number of structural layers small. It treats two deletion types: Comparative Deletion, where a degree phrase is elided in the than-clause, and Attributive Comparative Deletion, where a modifier and its noun are elided. The author argues that the second is not a special rule. It follows from VP-ellipsis together with focus marking, which stops deletion at the first focused constituent, and from the overtness requirement on operators. Cross-linguistic data from Czech and Polish are used to show why attributive deletion is absent in those languages. The book contains no counts or corpus frequencies of the kind that a measurement would need, and the argument is conceptual and syntactic.

Ideas

For Mova

The grammar chapters are 15. Adjectives and adverbs (degree words and comparison) and 23. Complementation (the than-clause). The code is the parser in en/src/parse.rs and the frames in prag/src/frames.rs. Measure: the attachment accuracy of than-clauses on the UD EWT dev set (LAS/UAS for the relevant arcs), before and after adding the test sentences. The cross-linguistic part does not apply to Mova's English-only scope.
