Apposition1. DefinitionA word, group of words or clause that follows a noun or pronoun and means the same person or thing as the noun or pronoun does is called an apposition.E.g.The student, Wang Wei, was praised by our teacher yesterday. This is Mr. Wang, dean of our school. The news that the criminal was arrested was not true . II. Kinds of Appositions1) loose apposition It is often set off from the head word by a comma. 2) close apposition The apposition and its head-word form a close relation, not separated by a comma.E.g.We love our country, the great Peoples Republic of China.Do you know the famous critic Paul Jones? The position of the appositionAn apposition is usually placed immediately after the head-word, but it may also be put elsewhere in the sentence, especially in the case of pronouns like all, both, each, myself, etc.E.g.An unusual present was given to him for his birthday, a book on ethics.Give them an apple each.They are all/both students.He finished it himself. NoteBesides nouns and pronouns, adjectives, adverbs, predicate verbs, prepositional phrases, infinitive phrases, clauses, etc. May occasionally be followed by an apposition.She always speaks so-slowly and clearly.He is taller, much taller than she is.To go shopping, to help her sister, to do some cleaning- to do all this, she has to make the best of her time.Indicator as the appositive有时为了明晰地表示非限制性同位关系,我们会使用一些词语插入同位成分之间。 A) 表示等同关系的词语有: namely，that is，that is to say，in other words，or, etc.You should have consulted an ophthalmologist, that is an eye doctor.He studies linguistics, or the science of language.B) 表示举例或列举的词语有： for example，for instance，e.g.，such as, say，including, etc.They visited several cities, for example Rome and Athens.Nouns such as book, pen, apple and toy are countable nouns.C)表示突出某点的词语有： especially，particularly，in particular，notably, chiefly，mainly, mostly。 We want to invite a number of friends, especially Joan and Betty. Most students in our class, particularly David and Chris, are fond of music. 这些词语在使用中有的可以放在第二个同位成分之前或之后： that is，that is to say，forexample，forinstance，in particular和in other words。 Dickenss most productive period, that is (to say) the 1840s, was a time when public demandforfiction was growing at a tremendous rate.Dickenss most productive period, the 1840s, that is (to say), was a time when public demandforfiction was growing at a tremendous rate.included 只能放在第二个同位成分之后。其他的词语以及一些缩写形式只能放在第二个同位成分之前：namely，or，including，such as，say，especially，particularly，notably, chiefly，mainly，mostly， e.g., etc.Many people, including my sister, wont forgive him for that.Many people, my sister included, wont forgive him for that.III. The appositive clauseSome words, such as appeal，belief, idea, decision, truth, conclusion， report, message, promise, proposal， remark, question, thought， statement， understanding，etc. to show the details.The thought came to her that maybe she had left the door open when she left home. The story goes that he failed in the College Entrance Examinations again.The distinction between the apposition and the attributeThe apposition gives another name which often defines or explains it.An apposition is in the same case as the noun or pronoun it refers to.It may be expressed by a noun, a pronoun, or a numeral, etc.An attribute is to modify the noun or pronoun.“that” in the attributive clause has a grammar function, as a part in the clause, while in the appositive clause it is just a conjunction.IV.
