Abstract
The article discusses ellipsis constructions in the English language. The author examines a hypothesis proposed by linguist Jason Merchant about situations in which a subject can be suspended in an elliptical statement with the Extended Projection Principle. After going over the hypothesis, he then presents linguists Howard Lasnik and Myung-Kwan Park's critique of Merchant. He argues that their critique is unfounded. Finally he offers three arguments that support and expand upon Merchant's hypothesis.
