(Additional evidence for the superiority of the PSG-based account of non-constituent coordination)

In my 2012 paper, "Comparison of the ellipsis-based theory of non-constituent coordination with its alternatives," it is claimed that Japanese allows what I call medial right-node raising, i.e. a type of right-node raising that generates structures in which either all or a part of the right-node-raised material is realized at a location other than the right edge of the final conjunct. In the present paper, I attempt to bolster this claim by presenting examples of medial right-node raising in which the right-node-raised material that is realized at a non-final location is something other than a postposition. I then discuss, more fully than in the 2012 paper, why the existence of this type of example is problematic for the analysis of non-constituent coordination based on Categorial Grammar mechanisms.
