This paper investigates one of the most puzzling aspects of ellipsis, MaxElide: Elide the biggest deletable constituent, and provides a better understanding of it. We first review and revise Merchant's (2001, 2008) formulation of MaxElide. We then show that the reformulated version of MaxElide can be derived from such general principles as the parallelism condition on deletion and the uniformity chain condition.
