| Abstract: | This paper gives some formal criteria and empirical evidence for distinguishing between verbless clauses and elliptical ones. Based on Romanian and French data, it is argued that syntactic reconstruction is not a viable solution for verbless clauses, which do not involve any ellipsis at all : the syntactic structure of verbless clauses is exactly what appears on the surface. More generally, clauses whose head is a non-verbal predicative phrase are not elliptical. This leads us to reconsider the empirical domain of elliptical constructions. |
| Key words: | clause, predicative head, verbless clause, elliptical clause |
