It is used by various authors in different contexts, but no one, to the best of my knowledge, has ever examined it carefully and thoroughly. The notion of ellipsis is in fact something of a dark horse in the philosophical stable.

Ideology is not only to be studied it is, I believe, to be exposed, I hope that sensitizing people to ellipses can contribute to this exposure of ideological obfuscation, but I do not show this now - my examples may, however, suggest some of the possibilities. I try to show that the notion of ellipsis as used in philosophical analysis can be fruitfully applied in the sociological study of ideology. I lay the foundations for one such bridge in this chapter.

Ellipsis, contractions, abbreviations, etc. People who are still learning English should be careful about informal usage, as they may not do it in the standard way, and if there are other errors in their speech, they will lose the error-correcting effects of redundancies. It's definitely informal, but somewhat common.
