Núria Bertomeu and Valia Kordoni: Integrating Pragmatic Information in Grammar. An Analysis of Intersentential Ellipsis

In this paper we present a proposal to integrate pragmatic information, both from the preceding discourse and the extra-linguistic context, in the grammar. We provide an analysis of elliptical fragments according to how they are anchored to the context and the kind of resolution they require. We also present an alternative view about the syntax of fragments.
