ELEMENTS OF FOLK PSYCHOLOGY

This image of a root originated among grammarians at a: time when the
view was current that, just as the stem and branches of a plant grow
out of its root, so also in the development of a language does a word
always arise out of a group of either simple or composite sounds that
embody the main idea. But the component parts of a language are
certainly not roots in this sense; every simple monosyllabic word
combines with others, and from this combination there result, in part,
modifications in meaning, and, in part, sentences. Language, thus, does
not develop by sprouting and growing, but by, agglomeration and
agglutination.

Ellipsis is the non-expression of one or more sentence elements whose meaning can be reconstructed either from the context or from a person's knowledge of the world. In speech and writing, ellipsis is pervasive, contributing in various ways to the economy, speed, and style of communication. Resolving ellipsis is a particularly challenging issue in natural language processing, since not only must meaning be gleaned from missing elements but the fact that something meaningful is missing must be detected in the first place.
