Talk:Sluicing
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Non-constituent?
This sentence puzzles me: "Sluicing is problematic in the field of syntax, as the elided content seems to form a non-constituent." As far I can tell this is simply not true: sluicing involves deletion of TP or IP (which are of course constituents). Is the author thinking of 'swiping'?:
- Phoebe is eating rice, but I don't know what with.
This certainly seems to involve deletion of a non-constituent. Matve 18:40, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
Sluicing is also a type of mining - Hydralic mining used to mine Tin - at leaste in the 1930's. I'm not sure how to create a disambiguation but someone might want to do this?
This age needs some major work. It doesn't make any sense at all in its current form. 71.30.48.94 17:00, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
