| Abstract | ||
| This paper examines the possibility of inserting linguistic elements in unusual positions. The outcome of such insertion has come to be known as a discontinuous structure. Learners of English as a foreign language are warned against the use of such structures in their speech or writing. However, in several cases the insertion of a word or a clause within a constituent or between constituents becomes obligatory or stylistically preferable. One striking example is the use of adverbials between the main verb of a sentence and its direct object when the object of the sentence is long or heavy. | ||
