Abstract

The article is devoted to a linguistic research of the impact of social media texts on modern society. The article considers the linguistic and pragmatic features of ellipsis in mass media texts and their influence on readers. The argument of the article is illustrated through the discourse analysis of media texts.
The object of the present paper is to analyze ellipsis as a particular characteristic of media texts. Ellipsis is a cultural phenomenon in the language, giving the possibility for the authors to make the communication process more productive. But, on the other hand, it is sometimes difficult to identify what the intended meaning of an elliptical structure is. Thus some fundamental features of ellipsis have been revealed in the course of the research, such as thought viruses, incorporation, speech presupposition, and address to the authority, which clarify the author’s intention.
