Synopsis

This book discusses the use of ellipses in the Old French language. It analyzes their types and provides examples from various texts written between the 9th and 13th century CE. Ellipses were the omission of words or groups of words, often in cases where usage had made their omission natural rather than a form of intentional abbreviation. The author provides an in-depth examination, revealing the history of these omissions, their impact on the structure and meaning of sentences, and the underlying linguistic and literary context in which they appear. Ultimately, the book offers valuable insights into the evolution of the French language and the use of ellipses in literary expression.
