INTRODUCTION Along with the development of language, the use of ellipsishas become common in informal English as well as in formal.Not only we meet with the omission of words frequently,but that of phrases or even sentences. Neglecting it, we may,sometimes make mistakes and get into trouble. And this bringsbefore us the importance of English ellipsis.

No, perhaps in Prose＂ in her journal entry of 22 January 1916 shows that Mansfield plans to experiment with a kind of poetic prose, or in her own words--＂special prose＂. The profound affinity between the ＂special prose＂ and the notion of elegy, ＂a mournful poem for the dead＂ （OED, ＂elegy＂, n. sense 1）, calls attention to her work＇s decisive but still insufficiently examined relationship to poetry and her preoccupation with mortality. Second, the words ＂scraps＂, ＂bits＂, and ＂nothing real finished＂ in her journal entry of 19 February 1918 indicate that the mortal fragility she writes about in her ＂special prose＂ is closely bound up with verbal fragility, as embodied, for example, in the form of an ellipsis mark that she uses extensively elsewhere in her short stories. Her connection to poetry and her use of ellipsis marks will be discussed by looking at the impact of John Keats＇s poems on her own work and ＂The Canary＂ （1922）, the last story she completed before her death.展开更多

This document mainly discuss over ellipsis from its definition, essence, categories, functions, contrastive study on ellipsis between English and Chinese, and its usage in literary works. By summary of these aspects of ellipsis we may realize that ellipsis does not only serves in oral forms but in written forms, which demonstrates its characteristics in both grammatical and pragmatic usage.展开更多
