Recoverability

可复原性

A term used in syntactic theory to refer to sentences where elements which have been elided (or deleted) are capable of being retrieved (are recoverable), by taking the linguistic context into account. In later generative grammar, it refers to a condition governing the application of deletion rules, which specifies that only elements which do not have semantic content can be deleted.

句法理论术语，指句子中被省略（或删除）的成分能参照语言的上下文得以恢复。在最近的生成语法中，用来指支配删除规则应用的一个条件，它规定只有没有语义内容的成员才可以删除。
