 The Elision of /k/ in <nk# C> Context
Collins and Mees claim in their chapter on elision in The Sounds of English and Dutch (1984) that word final /k/ cannot be elided in English if it is preceded by a nasal and followed by a consonant in the next word.
The fact that neither author mentions the elision of /k/ suggests that it is not a common form of elision.

 `I only said--the syntax--': Elision, recoverability, and insertion in Emily Dickinson's poetry.
By simple elision, most of which is licensed by syntactic recoverability rules, she creates indeterminacy.
This study will look at elision both through an examination of syntactic categories and a consideration of rules that Dickinson appears to have formulated and that operate throughout her corpus.
A subsequent contention is that Dickinson's 1,775 poems show patterns of elision from which we can derive some guidelines for making guesses as to what should be inserted into syntactic positions that she appears to have left empty.
