Abstract

Gapping has been classically characterized as an ellipsis. However, recent literature (Johnson 2009) has regarded it as Across-the-Board movement in the English language. This paper aims to analyze these proposals and giving its own for European Portuguese, emphasizing some of the differences between the two languages as the source for these contrasts.
