Abstract

In this paper sluicing will be examined in Persian Language. This study introduces two sub-types of clausal ellipsis in this language named sluicing ( with antecedent) and sprouting ( without antecedent).Regarding the different types, their reaction will be evaluated to the clausal ellipsis. In this paper the Persian evidence confirms that the most popular approach called Deletion analysis is not able to answer the grammatical diversity in this language. Thus on the basis of another approach named Re-Use analysis in Chung's et al framework (2011), sprouting is examined. The hypothesis is the variety of Persian sentences can not be responded by depending upon a bare syntactic approach named deletion approach. Besides syntactic considerations , pragmatic ones should be mentioned in this language such as argument structure, voice , case system ,discourse markers and lexical selection.
