Stripping (linguistics)
ID: stripping-linguistics
In linguistics, "stripping" is a type of ellipsis that involves the omission of part of a sentence, typically an auxiliary verb or a portion of a predicate, while retaining the focus on a particular constituent. Stripping often occurs in conversational contexts where the speaker emphasizes a specific part of the sentence, usually following a focus or contrastive emphasis.
