Definition
a strategy for identificational constructions in which the presupposed open proposition is deleted, or sometimes expressed only by a 'pro-verb'. Example: in English, elliptical responses to the question Who took the cookies? are It was JIM, JIM, or JIM did (with the pro-verb form did), in contrast to the full prosodic strategy JIM took the cookies or the equational - strategy It was JIM who took the cookies. (Section 11.4.2)
