Abstract
The literature on ellipsis is notable for its contentiousness and diversity of viewpoints. We argue, however, that this literature can be viewed as an orderly series of insights, beginning with the notion of abstract identity of the Sag–Williams account, and moving ultimately to a view of ellipsis as a discourse phenomenon.
