This article explores ellipsis as a key strategy of linguistic economy in spoken discourse. Linguistic economy refers to the tendency of language users to convey maximum meaning with minimal effort. Ellipsis, defined as the omission of elements that are recoverable from context, plays a crucial role in achieving this efficiency. The study investigates how ellipsis functions in everyday spoken communication, its types, pragmatic significance, and its role in enhancing communicative effectiveness. Using discourse analysis, the research examines naturally occurring conversational data to identify patterns of ellipsis and their communicative functions. The findings demonstrate that ellipsis contributes to fluency, reduces redundancy, and relies heavily on shared knowledge and contextual cues. The article concludes that ellipsis is not merely a grammatical phenomenon but a fundamental pragmatic tool that reflects speakers’ cognitive and communicative strategies.
