Abstract
The purpose of this paper is twofold. First, it investigates the formation of
Mandarin embedded short-answer sentences. Given the fact that this type of
sentence shares many syntactic properties with Mandarin pseudo-sluicing
constructions, I propose that they are not derived via movement and ellipsis;
instead, they consist of a base-generated empty category, shi, and the short-
answer phrase. Although Mandarin embedded short-answer sentences are
structurally similar to pseudo-sluicing constructions, they do not pattern
alike in all aspects: the former differs from the latter in that the pre-shi
empty category can be analyzed as an E-type pronoun, a topic-bound variable,
or an event-related pro, depending on what it is co-referential with. In
addition, the event-related pro cannot be linked to an implicit argument in
embedded short-answer sentences, though it can in pseudo-sluicing
constructions. Second, this analysis, in conjunction with the one proposed for
Mandarin pseudo-sluicing constructions, illustrates that Mandarin Chinese,
unlike Dutch and Hungarian, does not rely on the [E]-feature to construct
sluicing and embedded fragment-answer sentences, which suggests that the [E]-
feature is entirely absent in this language. Therefore, I propose that we
should account for the derivation of Mandarin matrix fragment answers in terms
of LF-copying, rather than PF-deletion.
