| Abstract | ||
| Postponement is a grammatical phenomenon whereby certain sentence elements optionally or obligatorily change their positions and move to the end of the sentence under the influence of considerable conditions in both English and Arabic . Syntactically speaking , '' English relies heavily on word order and word –class membership as the markers of syntactic relationships between the words in a sentence'' (Thakur,1997: 88 ) . Arabic ,on the other hand , is known as ''an inflecting language''' in which ''the syntactic relationship that a word has with the other words in a sentence manifests itself in the form of that word ( e.g., in its inflectional endings )'' ( Ibid : 85-86 ). In this case, a native speaker finds it easy to postpone a sentence element by means of using the inflectional marks such as الضمة [addamma] , الفتحة [alfatha] , الكسرة [alkasra ] ,السكون [assukuun ] and التنوين [attanwiin]. | ||
