In syntax, a sluicing construction is one in which the sentential part of an interrogative clause is elided; this typically occurs only in constituent questions (not polar questions). (Sluicing is also used as the name of the transformation that produces these surface forms, and as a synonym for ellipsis in these constructions.)
