In this paper, I discuss ellipsis inside Jordanian Arabic (JA) DPs. I show that both Nominal Ellipsis (NE) and pronominalization are attested in JA. I argue following Saab & Lipták (2016) that ellipsis takes place at different heights in the extended nominal projection via the presence of an [E]llipsis feature (Merchant 2001, 2005). In particular, I argue that there are two types of ellipsis in the DP: Noun Phrase Ellipsis (NPE), which targets the noun alone; and (ii) Classifier Phrase Ellipsis (ClPE), which targets a bigger structure than the noun. I show that the application of NPE gives rise to a stranded affix scenario, and as such, an anaphoric element is inserted as a last resort strategy, yielding pronominalization. By contrast, no such stranding takes place with ClPE since the head which contains the stranded affix is contained in the ellipsis site. In support of this view, I analyze ellipsis inside simple DPs and DPs containing numerals, showing that ellipsis could be NPE or ClPE.

在约旦阿拉伯语中统一省略号和代词*

在本文中，我讨论了约旦阿拉伯语 (JA) DP 中的省略号。我表明在 JA 中证明了名词性省略 (NE) 和代词化。我按照 Saab 和 Lipták (2016) 的观点认为，通过存在 [E] 省略号特征，省略号发生在扩展标称投影的不同高度（Merchant 2001, 2005）。特别是，我认为 DP 中有两种类型的省略号： 名词短语省略号 (NPE)，仅针对名词；(ii) 分类器短语省略号 (ClPE)，它的目标是比名词更大的结构。我展示了 NPE 的应用导致了一个搁浅的词缀场景，因此，一个照应元素作为最后的策略被插入，产生了代词化。相比之下，ClPE 不会发生这种绞合，因为包含绞合词缀的头部包含在省略号位点中。为了支持这一观点，我分析了简单 DP 和包含数字的 DP 中的省略号，表明省略号可能是 NPE 或 ClPE。
