Abstract

This article investigates the verbal ellipsis (iḍ mā r al-fi’ l) in Sī bawayhi’ s (c. 760– 796) Kitā b. First, the terminology of this research domain has been explicated and it is stated that the term “ ḥ aḏ f” (deletion) in the medieval Arabic (Sī bawayhi era) is often dedicated to the phonological level of the language whereas the term of “ iḍ mā r” (suppression) belongs to the syntactic (and pragmatic or even cognitive level). For this reason, the term “ iḍ mā r al-fi’ l” is used in this article to refer to the (verbal) ellipsis. Thereafter Sī bawayhi’ s data are introduced and a new classification of them has been proposed (based on the ellipsis ground). The presence of the speaker and the hearer in a common situational or cultural context and the presence of a grammatical reason can be accordingly enumerated as the grounds for ellipsis. Moreover, the data are investigated differently, i. e. in the framework of the Parallel Architecture of the Grammar (PA) which is a formal model to analyze the natural language. Although the data are historical, each modern language includes similar ones that can be compared with our data and therefore the proposal which is made here, can also be used to analyze them. For the analysis of these data which don’ t have linguistic antecedents, it has been proposed to consider an intermediate cognitive tier which binds the elliptical utterance with its nonlinguistic antecedent so that its minimal syntax will be licensed. This mechanism of licensing which is known as “ indirect licensing” makes this binding possible. It looks similar to an interpretive process in medieval Arabic grammar which is called taqdī r (suppletive insertion). Our proposal is also compatible with a more general model, the structure of the mind, proposed by Jackendoff (1997, 2002, 2010) and can clarify some aspects of contextual ellipsis in the medieval Arabic which is imparted by the term “ ḥ ā l” (discourse equivalence).
