The aim of the given paper is to define the status of ellipsis as a means of economy principle realization in the system of constructions with implicit predication. The results of the study enable us to claim that the above-mentioned distinction is based on the criterion of structural and semantic completeness. Namely, elliptical constructions are complete semantically, whereas their structural incompleteness functions as a means of compressing the information within the limits of a given communicative situation for the purpose of achieving certain pragmatic goals.
