Yesterday we went to the movies, and last Thursday, to the circus. (Sag, 1976, p.265 ) b. To Robin, Chris gave the book, and to Leslie, the magazine. (Kubota and Levine, 2016) The problem cannot be avoided by simply allowing Gapping constructions to be of two varieties, conjoined VPs or TPs. Consider the example in (7). (7) She can't eat caviar, and he/him, beans. This sentence can be understood to have a widescope reading ('It can't be the case that she eats caviar and he eats beans'), suggesting that the sentence is an instance of a conjoined VP. But the availability of the nominative subject in the gapped clause suggests that a conjoined TP structure is involved. Given this, the fact that (7) can simultaneously have a nominative subject and a wide-scope reading creates a serious problem to the movementbased approach because a single instance of an expression cannot simultaneously be assigned two different structures.",

Chaves (2007, p.89) I argue, contra Johnson and Kubota-Levine, that wide-scope interpretations are the consequence of an asymmetry in the way subsequent conjuncts are interpreted in the discourse they occur in: The first conjunct updates the input context and yields a local context for the second conjunct, but not vice versa. In this dynamic view, it is predicted that the scope of an operator embedded in the first conjunct can reach into the second conjunct but the reverse would not be possible. This prediction is borne out in examples like (21): The scope of the negation in the second conjunct is conjunct-bound. The examples considered so far show that conjunctbound scope-taking is a default case and that it can be overridden by context-dependent processes (Chaves, 2007, p.89) .",

"text": "In 3.1 and 3.2 of Section 3 it was observed that acceptable instances of Gapping constructions are those in which the connections between the remnants and their correlates are easily recognizable. Building on the insights from Levin and Prince (1986) , I argue that such connections provide necessary information to recover a QUD evoked by the source clause of Gapping constructions. I assume that such a QUD is locally available in the pragmatics of the gapped clause in the form of a propositional abstract. I adopt a construction-based HPSG grammar proposed by Ginzburg and Sag (2000) to model Gapping constructions. Informally, the strategy I adopt for the licensing of gapped clauses is to think of them as non-sentential utterances of underspecified category that provide an answer to the QUD introduced by their respective source clauses. To model the discourse context of Gapping constructions, I adopt Ginzburg's (2012) Dialogue Game-Board (DBG), an independently motivated feature used to model discourse. DGB provides a structured view of discourse by keeping track of which question gets introduced at a given point in discourse and which gets downdated. It is an object of type dgb, which specifies information about Maximal Question Under Discussion (MAX-QUD), which itself contains Focus Establishing Constituents (FEC) and Question (Q).",

The value of Q in (24) is an open proposition which basically corresponds to the part of the sentence that is not focused.

This means that updating a given discourse by introducing a potential source clause to it would not result in downdating the relevant question in Q.

One can think of the reason for the oddness of (27) intuitively: The gapped and source clauses are answers to two different questions, Which movie was directed by which director? and Which director directed which movie?, respectively. The proposed QUD-based analysis captures this intuition directly by requiring that the semantics of gapped clauses make reference to the structure of the QUD introduced by their respective source clauses.",

This QUD-based account correctly predicts the availability of subordinators and sub-phrasal remnants in certain cases of Gapping constructions, and the possibility of wide scope operators in various contexts, all of which pose serious challenges to previous accounts.
