What is another word for ellipsis?
Pronunciation: [ɪlˈɪpsɪs] (IPA) 
Ellipsis, the punctuation mark consisting of three dots, is commonly used to indicate an omission in a sentence or to create a sense of suspense or open-endedness. However, there are other ways to achieve similar effects in written language. Some alternatives to ellipsis include dash, colon, semicolon, and parentheses. A dash can be used to indicate interruption or emphasis, while a colon can introduce a list or a clarification. Semicolons can connect related ideas, and parentheses can add additional information or clarification without interrupting the main sentence flow. Depending on the context and desired effect, writers can experiment with these alternatives to ellipsis to add depth and complexity to their writing.
