Description

Explore the reality of how we communicate in Mind The Gap: Ellipsis and Stylistic Variation in Spoken and Written English. While many believe the ideal form of communication is the complete sentence, actual language use is often defined by what is left out. This book examines the inherent gappiness of language, a phenomenon known as ellipsis. Peter Wilson provides a systematic analysis of how speakers and writers operate within specific contexts that allow certain parts of language to be understood without being fully expressed. By looking at both linguistic and situational factors, this work explains why we omit information and how it affects meaning. To provide a well-rounded perspective, the text draws on a wide variety of examples. You will find analysis covering spoken and written English, as well as both literary and non-literary sources. This makes it a valuable resource for those studying the nuances of how English is used in real-world settings.
