Title: Remarks on the Phenomena of V-PP Complex in English Pseudogapping.
Abstract: This paper is concerned with how NP/DP or PP survives as a remnant in English pseudogapping when an intransitive verb plus a preposition is used in a postcedent clause. In this regard, this paper makes two major claims: first, the criterion for reanalysis vs. non-reanalysis of the intransitive verb and preposition depends on semantic properties, and second, focus movement cum-deletion mechanism yields the remnant of NP/DP or PP.
