One of the important aspects of a language is that the variety of amount of use ellipsis.Ellipsis is most remarkable linguistic strategy which greatly participates in the process of creating cohesion. Ellipsis is used to avoid tedious redundancy and achieve cohesive style; its use is valid and licensed as long as the shorthand is understood by readers/listeners. It usually refers to an intentional omission of a word, phrase or clause from a text, often because the omitted items have already been referred to earlier and thus not necessary to be mentioned more.
