On Assymetry of the Deep and Surface Representation of the Sentence

Abstract

The Czech constructions of comparison and the constructions introduced by kromě/mimo are analyzed. For their deep structure it is necessary to expand them into the embedded predication, which is considered to be a grammaticalized ellipsis.

The two new syntactic relations are introduced (ADDIT - an addition, EXC - an exception). They are connected with the ambiguity of kromě constructions.
