In linguistics, ellipsis (from Ancient Greek ἔλλειψις (élleipsis) 'omission') or an elliptical construction is the omission from a clause of one or more words that are nevertheless understood in the context of the remaining elements. There are numerous distinct types of ellipsis acknowledged in theoretical syntax.
A highly elliptical orbit (HEO) is an elliptic orbit with high eccentricity, usually referring to one around Earth. Examples of inclined HEO orbits include Molniya orbits , named after the Molniya Soviet communication satellites which used them, and Tundra orbits .
An elliptical wing is a wing planform whose leading and trailing edges each approximate two segments of an ellipse. It is not to be confused with annular wings , which may be elliptically shaped. Relatively few aircraft have adopted the elliptical wing, an even-smaller number of which attained mass production ; the majority of aircraft that did ...
Forward VPE in English. In linguistics, ' Verb phrase ellipsis ' (VP ellipsis or VPE) is a type of grammatical omission where a verb phrase is left out (elided) but its meaning can still be inferred from context.
Elliptical may mean: having the shape of an ellipse, or more broadly, any oval shape in botany, having an elliptic leaf shape; of aircraft wings, having an elliptical planform; characterised by ellipsis (the omission of words), or by concision more broadly; elliptical trainer, an exercise machine
In probability and statistics, an elliptical distribution is any member of a broad family of probability distributions that generalize the multivariate normal distribution. Intuitively, in the simplified two and three dimensional case, the joint distribution forms an ellipse and an ellipsoid , respectively, in iso-density plots.
The review highlighted the weaknesses of traditional methods of construction, especially their lack of productivity, and called for the widespread adoption of off-site construction. As a result, in 2020, the UK Department for Education announced a 3 £billion investment to build one hundred and twenty off-site schools in four years.
Construction morphology (CM) is a morphological theory aimed at a better understanding of the grammar of words, as well as the relation between syntax, morphology, and the lexicon. Susanne Z. Riehemann developed the theoretical foundations in her masters thesis in 1993, which was later published as Riehemann (1998).
