Abstract

Although existing research has affirmed that omitting noun and verb phrases can streamline interactions and provide alternative interpretations for recipients, there is limited insight into how these elliptical constructions function in context in Saudi corporate settings. Therefore, this study investigates the interpretive utility of noun and verb phrase ellipsis in professional communication, aiming to uncover their role in enhancing discourse efficiency and interpretive emphasis. An exploratory sequential mixed research design was utilized, wherein a quantitative phase preceded and informed a qualitative interpretation phase. Both data strands were derived from 112 transcripts of corporate interactions, sampled systematically based on discourse type, encompassing meetings, negotiations, and training presentations sourced from official platforms and public archives. In the first phase, frequency analysis and chi-square testing identified patterns in the frequency and contextual use of elliptical structures. In the second phase, textual analysis examined how noun and verb phrases serve specific interactive goals such as comprehensibility, markedness, and persuasiveness, with qualitative interpretation building upon quantitative findings. Results revealed that noun and verb phrase ellipsis enhances communicative efficiency by reducing redundancy and directing attention toward important content. Noun phrases were effective in foregrounding key information, while verb phrases conveyed urgency and immediacy. Quantitative results further highlighted consistent structural patterns and their impact on emotional engagement. Additionally, strategic linguistic omission appeared to reinforce perceptions of speaker confidence and authority within corporate contexts. The study repositions linguistic omission not merely as a grammatical phenomenon but as a pragmatic strategy for directing attention and shaping interpretation through clarity and emphasis.

Abstract

The goal of this study was to determine how diversified intelligence (DI) can predict various aspects of L2 writing. To achieve this, 120 intermediate English as a Foreign Language students were selected using the Oxford Quick Placement Test (OQPT). The learners were given Abdulaal, Alenazi et al.s (2022) DI questionnaire. The participants were asked to prepare an argumentative essay in sixty minutes on a given subject. Each writing componenttenor, organization, coherence, vocabulary, grammar, spelling, and pronunciationwas considered when assigning a score to the students writings. The inter-rater reliability, as determined by Pearsons correlation, was 0.87. The data were analyzed using multivariate regression in AMOS (Version 22) to answer the following basic research question: Which types of DIs contributed to various characteristics of L2 writing? The findings demonstrate how diversified intelligence impacted different aspects of learners writing. It was discovered that intrapersonal, musical, and naturalistic intelligence significantly impacted the grammar of EFL students writings; kinesthetic, existential, logical, and naturalistic intelligence had an impact on the punctuation components of L2 writings; verbal, kinesthetic, and naturalist intelligence had influences on students writing organization; visual, interpersonal, logical, and existential intelligence played a significant role in the students cohesion; and finally, logical, and existential intelligence significantly impacted the relevance and sufficiency of the thematic tenor.
