The reason for my silence on the topic
And, of course, there is a reason for my being silent about ellipsis-related issues. I find it to be much more difficult to conduct experiments on ellipsis-related predicted schematic asymmetries and obtain a confirmed schematic asymmetry.

In a few papers of mine on ellipsis-related issues in the late 1990s to the early 2000s, I tried very hard to come up with *Schema-based predictions involving ellipsis but it was very difficult. The best I could do in the end was to make recourse to "Mix readings," as in my "Deep and Surface ..." paper, and I doubt very much that we can obtain a confirmed schematic asymmetry there...
