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:
“...many men choose a wife amid the deft-fingered clerks in preference to the society misses. The woman clerk has studied the value of concentration, learned the lesson that incites to work when a burden bears heavily upon her strength. She knows the word of self- reliance, and the fine courage that springs from the consciousness that a good result has been accomplished by a well-directed effort.”
—Clara (Marquise)
