Cho, Sae-youn; Kim, Taeho & Lee, Han-gyu. (2022). A grammar of contrastive stripping construction with subordinating conjunctions in English. The Linguistic Association of Korea Journal, 30(4), 125-144. The paper seeks to provide a syntactic and pragmatic account for the Contrastive Stripping Construction (CSC) in English. The pragmatic account will give a full support for our syntactic analysis. The issue here is on how to generate the CSC with a subordinate conjunction and how to give a right contrastive interpretation. Pointing out the problems of the Movement-Ellipsis analysis, we propose a construction-based analysis of the CSC, which interacts the English CSC rule with the lexical information on the lexemes such as though, except and whereas. It gives us a simple explanation on how to produce the CSCs with a subordinating conjunction and assign an appropriate contrastive interpretation to them.
