Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
This volume contains essays on ellipsis -- the omission of understood words or grammatical items from a sentence -- and the closely related syntactic phenomena of conjunction and gapping. Ellipsis poses interesting challenges for linguists because speakers are expressing something that is not present in their words. This volume not only addresses the three perspectives resulting from recent research -- Chomsky's syntactic Government and Binding approach, the semantic theories, and the processing accounts -- but it also examines the cross-linguistic aspects of ellipsis by comparing the possibilities for a given type of elided structure in Japanese, Arabic, Hebrew, and in English. This volume will be of interest to both semanticists and syntacticians.

This book makes a valuable addition to the literature on this fascinating subject. ... the collection constitutes a major contribution to the analysis of VP-ellipsis, and is indispensable for anyone interested in this important topic in theoretical linguistics.
