Full stops
In addition to closing sentences, full stops are also sometimes used to indicate
sentences that are not grammatically independent. These sentences are sometimes
called sentence fragments or simply orthographic sentences. They can involve
ellipsis but single words are also common, especially in advertisements, in
dialogue involving responses and in writing which seeks to create a dramatic
effect:
Our airline now flies you to Majorca. Daily. And to Barcelona. Five times a
week.
A: They’ve decided to ban him for three matches.
B: Really. That’s awful.
A: So it’s okay if she’s out till after midnight.
B: As long as she gets a taxi back.
What must she be feeling now? Deep anxiety. Loneliness. Despair.
