| Abstract | ||
| ABSTRACT Apposition is a construction in which two elements are placed consequently as explanatory expressions. These elements appear with simple and complex structures represented by single words, phrases and clauses. Concerning the major types of apposition, there is a significant distinction between full and partial, strict and weak, and restrictive and non-restrictive apposition. Since apposition is a consequence of elements and such consequence is either continuous or discontinuous , the relationship between the appositive elements are sometimes implicit for the non native learners of English language. This study is a syntactic analysis aiming at understanding how the appositions are constructed and how they function within a sentence. Besides, It measures the frequent use of appositive classes and functions drawing examples from the Narrative and Scientific texts (henceforth NTs and STs texts) to compare between their various frequencies in use. | ||
