Traditional linguistic definitions of 'ellipsis' have in common the concepts of 'lack' and 'void'.

Abstract
Traditional linguistic definitions of 'ellipsis' have in common the concepts of 'lack' and 'void'. The missing part of which the traditional model speaks, exists on a logical level and not on an enunciative one. That which appears to be a gap in language, the 'void' indicated by the 'ellipsis', is filled by what Buhler calls 'the deictic field'. By overturning the connection between logic and enunciation, the 'ellipsis' becomes a pseudo-concept. This article seeks to trace this reversal starting from Saussure showing how his innovative force is seized and developed above all by Merleau-Ponty. This non-traditional viewpoint has many things in common with other two non-linguists: Buhler and Wittgentstein.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
