영어 긍정 최소 공백화 구문: 직접 해석 접근법을 중심으로

The so-called positive Stripping construction in English involves the conjunction and, a single constituent XP, and the adverb too. This construction seems to be an incomplete sentence and nonetheless, delivers a complete sentential meaning. To generate such sentences and provide propositional meanings, we propose a construction-based analysis in a direct interpretation approach, rejecting the previous analyses mainly based on deletion approaches. In so doing, we suggest a positive stripping construction rule, which enables us to provide an explanation on the syntactic structure and the meaning of the construction at issue.
