ASPECTS OF ELLIPSIS IN ENGLISH AND GREEK

Abstract

THIS STUDY IS CONCERNED WITH THE PHENOMENON OF ELLIPSIS. IT AIMS TO DESCRIBE SOME ASPECTS OF ELLIPSIS IN BOTH ENGLISH AND GREEK. THE CLOSE COMPARISON OF INSTANCES OF ELLIPSIS IN BOTH LANGUAGES ASPIRES TO BE OF CONSIDERABLE SIGNIFICANCE FOR LANGUAGE TEACHING. THE RESULTS FROM THE CONTRASTIVE ANALYSIS RECONFIRM THE HYPOTHESIS THAT ELLIPSIS IS MORE FREQUENTLY ENCOUNTERED IN ENGLISH THAN IN GREEKAND THAT ELLIPTICAL CONSTRUCTIONS, FAR FROM BEING REDUCED FORMS OF THEIR PURPORTED EQUIVALENT FULL-FLEDGED CONSTRUCTIONS, DESERVE AN INDEPENDENT STATUS IN A COMPREHENSIVE ACCOUNT OF LANGUAGE USE.
