Abstract

Ellipsis is the literary construction which omits some literary clauses in that language’s inherit rules to ease expression, increase its influence, and avoid unnecessary repetitions. It is of utmost importance to correctly fill the gaps of the omitted units in the surface structure especially in terms of analysing historical texts. The correct understanding of a text relies on the correct identification of its deep and elliptical construction. This study aims to identify the elliptical constructions in the two novels entitled as “Mihrabdan Çayan” and “Ötken Künler” by Abdulla Kadiri, who is regarded as the founder of Uzbek novel tradition, and to analyse the origins and reasons of these ellipses.

Keywords
