Congratulations to
Kenshi Funakoshi, whose "On Headless XP-Movement/Ellipsis'' is to appear in
Linguistic Inquiry. The paper makes two proposals: that Copy operation must apply to as small an element as possible, and that head-movement may be instantiated either by substitution or by adjunction. It argues that these proposals explain the syntax of "headless XPs".
