In linguistics, ellipsis refers to the omission of one or more elements from a sentence or phrase that are understood from the context, allowing for a more concise expression. This phenomenon occurs when certain words or phrases are not necessary for comprehension because they are implicitly understood by the listener or reader. Ellipsis can occur in various parts of a sentence, including verbs, subjects, objects, and phrases.
