There are several types of ellipsis, including:
1. Nominal ellipsis: This occurs when a noun or noun phrase is omitted from a sentence but can be understood from context. For example, "I'll have a coffee, please" (omitting the noun "coffee").
2. Verbal ellipsis: This occurs when a verb or verb phrase is omitted from a sentence but can be understood from context. For example, "She can play the piano, and he can too" (omitting the verb "play").
3. Clausal ellipsis: This occurs when a whole clause is omitted from a sentence but can be understood from context. For example, "I like coffee, and she does too" (omitting the clause "like coffee").
4. Gapping: This occurs when non-finite verbs or other elements are omitted from a sentence, leaving only the main verbs. For example, "She likes coffee, and he tea" (omitting the verb "likes").
5. Stripping: This occurs when unnecessary words are omitted from a sentence, leaving only the essential information. For example, "I can't go, but she can" (omitting the words "go" and "not").
