(Pseudo) sluicing in Preposition Stranding Contexts: The Case of Ta'izzi Arabic by Mustafa Ahmed Al-humari

“…The Arabic dialect under study seems to allow sluicing with preposition stranding, thus constituting, in principle, counterevidence to Preposition Stranding Generalization (PSG) proposed by Merchant (2001). That is, Arabic permits a preposition to be stranded under sluicing, though this is not allowed in regular wh-movements. …”
