All traditional linguistic definitions of ellipsis share an idea of "lack" and "void". But the void exists on a logical, not on an enunciative, level, where the apparent "gap" in language is filled by what Bühler calls "the deictic field". By overturning the connection between logic and enunciation, the ellipsis becomes a pseudo-concept. This article traces the history of this reversal, starting from Saussure and showing how his innovative force was seized and developed above all by Merleau-Ponty. This non-traditional perspective has many points in common with the theories of Wittgentstein, also a "non-linguist", such as Bühler and Merleau-Ponty. .
