Apa sih Elliptical Structure itu?
Elliptical structure adalah
penghilangan kata atau sejumlah kata dari suatu kalimat yang dimaksudkan agar
kalimat itu menjadi lebih pendek (singkat) dan lebih baik susunannya.
Ada dua jenis elliptical
structure, yaitu:
- Positive elliptic: too, so.
- Negative elliptic: neither, either.
