Reviews

The first sustained diachronic corpus investigation of elliptical phenomena using automatic detection techniques for modern and earlier stages of English. Gandón-Chapela has discovered and categorized an impressive range of new example types, and this book is sure to serve as the foundation for a wide range of future work.
