Through a comparative analysis of literary texts, the research examines whether AI can replicate human-like emotional expression using this stylistic device. Our findings show that while humans use ellipsis effectively to evoke empathy, AI-generated texts still require iterative refinement to achieve similar results. The study acknowledges the potential for AI to mimic empathic language through the linguistic encoding of emotion, contributing to the understanding of human-machine communication.en-USliterary textemotional expressionstylistic analysisempathyelliptical sentencesartificially generated textcomparative analysismonograph chapterBook chapter
