Many authors have suggested that ellipsis and other processes of reduction require a certain similarity or parallelism between the reduced clause and some antecedent clause in discourse. We claim that discourse structure constrains the way in which ellipsis satisfies a parallelism constraint: the parallelism match must involve two clauses that are related by local c-command in the discourse tree.Downloads
