Abstract
This paper investigates how narrow syntax is responsible for specifying deletion sites and aims to present a unified account for several elliptical constructions. Specifically, I will propose that the optional inheritance of the E-features from a phase head to a non-phase head has to do with marking the deletion sites. Further, following Chomsky’s (2013, 2015) labeling theory, I will present the unified mechanism of the elliptical constructions without recourse to Agree or feature checking of E-features which would require the E-features to have different specifics.
