ABSTRACT There are many types of figures of speech in English, one of which is ellipsis. Ellipsis that appears in texts and movies occasionally still confuses students. The objectives of the study were to identify the ellipsis on the main character‟s utterances in the “The Great Debaters” movie, to determine the types of ellipsis (clausal, verbal and nominal) used on the main character‟s utterances in the “The Great Debaters” movie, and to derive the most dominant types of ellipsis found on the main character‟s utterances in the “The Great Debaters” movie.
