Abstract

Ellipsis is one of the basic concepts in the field of art aesthetics, which can be found in the foundation of various artistic creations, sometimes known and sometimes unknown. In literature, the term ellipsis and its aesthetic and semantic functions are known and common among literary activists, but in calligraphy, despite its great importance and many uses, like other calligraphic rhetorical techniques, it remains unsaid and unknown, and in treatises There is no mention of it. It seems that calligraphers drowning in the rules that mostly lead to the correct structuring of structures and the eloquence of formal texts, have made them neglect to pay attention to the rhetorical device of calligraphy. This interdisciplinary article in a descriptive-analytical way, for the first time by revealing this important point that calligraphy, like literature, has its own eloquence and rhetoric. And just as language structures, after passing through the two devices of "eloquence" and "rhetoric", enter the structure of literary works, calligraphy structures also enter the structure of calligraphy works through the same path. It has revealed the most hidden structural links of literature and calligraphy in the wide realm of ellipsis to the limit of permissible, figurative metaphors and other related literary foundations.
