• Resumen

  • En este artículo analizo el fenómeno elíptico del truncamiento en euskera, que se basa en la supresión de la proyección oracional de una oración interrogativa, con excepción del sintagma-qu. Concretamente, trato de responder a la pregunta de si subyace una estructura sintáctica en el truncamiento. A través de varios test que se han propuesto para otras lenguas (marcación de caso, ligamiento, y distribución de adposiciones), demostraré que sí existe dicha representación sintáctica. Defiendo que el truncamiento en euskera se explica mediante el movimiento del sintagma-qu y la eliminación del resto de la estructura sintáctica; un análisis de movimiento y borrado frente a uno noestructuralista.
