istinguished as the following three types: Explicit ellipses, Implicit ellipses, and Hypothetical ellipses.РGenerally speaking, explicit ellipses mainly arise from two forms of the lapse of time. The former refers to the indication (definite or not) of the lapse of the time they elide, which, by and large, is equal to the quick summaries to be mentioned hereinafter of the “some years passed” type. Implicit ellipses are “those whose very presence is not announced in the text and which readers can infer only from some chronological void or gap in narrative continuity”(te, 1980: 108). Hypothetical ellipsis is the most implicit form of ellipsis, which is “impossible to localize, even sometimes impossible to place in any spot at all, and revealed after the event by an analepsis”(te, 1980: 109).
