Abstract:

Various studies have shown that reading comprehension is one of the most complex communicative skills for Spanish students, who have difficulties in accurately understanding the message conveyed in the written text, in particular in those cases in which the use of cohesion devices based on the principle of "verbatim recoverability" is involved. One, and probably the most complex of such textual resources is ellipsis, as it lacks a distinctive mark in the text indicating the omission of some part of the information. The main objective of the present work is to gain a deeper understanding of the process of textual ellipsis through the comparative analysis of literary vs. technical texts for teaching purposes.
