The search for V-stranding VP ellipsis in isiXhosa
It has been argued that V-stranding VP ellipsis exists in Bantu languages such as Kiswahili, Ndendeule, Chingoni, Kikuyu and Shingazidja. In the derivation, the verb moves to I0 in a tensed clause and thus survives VP ellipsis. However, through an examination of the components of a VP and their syntactic positions, we demonstrate that isiXhosa does not have V-stranding VP ellipsis. The article shows that VP-internal constituents – including objec…
