S-Lab - Victor Chamot / French Modal Ellipsis

Linguistics Monday, April 20, 2026 12:30 pm - 1:45 pm Marie Mount Hall

Monday April 20, Victor leads S-Lab with a discussion of French Modal Ellipsis – ellipsis of the complement to a modal – which has been argued to distinguish among modal flavors. "Au menu: brief mentions of the phase-based theory of ellipsis, the infamous E-feature, and recent approaches of modal flavor based on syntactic size of the complement, maybe other things, or maybe less."
