Ahn & Cho (2017a) suggests that multiple fragments consist of two clauses plus additional ellipsis. Two important claims are as follows. First, prior to ellipsis, the sentential source can be a syntactically and semantically complete answer to the question. Second, island violation is not repaired by ellipsis. Based on these, Ahn & Cho (2017a-c) account for ill-formed examples related to multiple fragments. Recently, Chung (2019) discusses problems that the bi-clausal analysis of multiple fragments may have. This squib critically reviews the defects pointed out by Chung (2019) and attempts to show that they are not real. This squib also provides further evidence for the no-repair-by-ellipsis analysis of multiple fragments in Korean.
