摘要：In (1), the pronouns index 4 different heights that reflect the height of [the heads of] their denotations, which begins to establish Points (i) and (ii). (1c) shows that these height specifications are disregarded in the course of ellipsis resolution, for otherwise the elided occurrences of SELF taking IX-b and IX-d as antecedents would have the 'wrong' feature specifications – which in turn should yield deviance, as in the control sentence in (1b), which contrasts with (1a); this establishes Point (iii), and the absence of classifiers establishes Point (iv). Acceptability ratings were obtained by the 'playback method' from repeated judgments by a native ASL signer [Deaf child of Deaf, signing parents] on a 7-point scale, with 7 = best.
