Less Studied Ellipses
Further instances of ellipsis that do not (in a clear way) qualify as any of the ellipsis types listed above:
-
- A: The cat likes Bill. B: Why does the cat like Bill?
- What will happen if I miss the deadline? .
With such data in mind, it is apparent that more work on ellipsis needs to be done before any sort of complete inventory of ellipsis mechanisms can be stipulated.

Famous quotes containing the word studied:
“I wish more and more that health were studied half as much as disease is. Why, with all the endowment of research against cancer is no study made of those who are free from cancer? Why not inquire what foods they eat, what habits of body and mind they cultivate? And why never study animals in health and natural surroundings? why always sickened and in an environment of strangeness and artificiality?”
—Sarah N. Cleghorn (1976–1959)
