Abstract
This paper deals with similarities in pronunciation and meaning among appositives which were behind devoting an independent section in all grammatical books to appositives, although each type of them has its own rules and signs. However, This distinction did not prevent them from being classified under one section with one basis that is agreement between main and subordinate appositives as well as the existence of agreement in semantics related to definite and indefinite noun, plural, dual, singular and gender adjacent with little exception as in adjectives of cause . This paper, is therefore divided according to types of appositives into four sections: Adjective, Affirmation, Apposition and Coupling. Each section explains aspects of agreement between the main and subordinate appositives especially the semantic features specifically related to each subordinate appositive. Due to the domination of the structural aspect and the clarity of accord in pronunciation, this becomes the basis of classification of appositives in general or the sub-division of the types of each subordinate appositive in particular. This distinction of each partdid not prevent appositives from being classified under one label namely the agreement between main and subordinate appositives. Due to the dominance of the structural aspect and clarity of accord in pronunciation, it was the most clear basis and in the classification of appositives.
