| The Paragraph. A paragraph is a graphical term used to name a group of sentences
marked off by indentation at the beginning and a break in the line at the end. But this graphical term has come to mean a distinct portion of a written discourse showing an internal unity, logical in character. In fact the paragraph as a category is half linguistic, half logical. As a logical category it is characterized by coherence and relative unity of the ideas expressed, as a linguistic category it is a unit of utterance marked off by purely linguistic means: intonation, pauses of various lengths, semantic ties which can be 51 disclosed by scrupulous analysis of the morphological aspect and meaning of the component parts, ect. It has already been stated elsewhere that the logical aspect of an utterance will always be backed up by purely linguistics means causing, as it were, an indivisible unity of extra-linguistic and intra-linguistic approach. Bearing this mind, we shall not draw a mark of demarcation between the logical and the linguistic analysis of an utterance, because the paragraph is a linguistic expression of a logical arrangement of thought. Stylistic inversion aims at attaching logical stress or additional emotional colouring to the surface meaning of the utterance. Therefore a specific intonation pattern is the inevitable satellite of inversion. Stylistic inversion in Modern English should not be regarded as a violation of the norms of standard English. It is only the practical realization of what is potential in the language itself. The following patterns of stylistic inversion are most frequently met in both English prose and English poetry. 1. The object is placed at the beginning of the sentence (see the example above). 2. The attribute is placed after the word it modifies (postposition of the attribute). This model is often used when there is more that one attribute, for example: “With finger weary and worn…” (Thomas Hood) “Once upon a midnightdreary…” (E.A.Poe) 3. a) The predicative is placed before the subject as in “A good generous prayer it was.” (Mark Twain) or b) the predicative stands before the link verb and both are placed before the subject as in “Rude am I in my speech…” (Shakespeare) 4. The adverbial modifier is placed at the beginning of the sentence, as in “Eagerly I wished the morrow.” (Poe) “My dearest daughter, a your feet I fall” (Dryden) “A tone of most extraordinary comparison Miss Tox said it in” (Dickens) 5. Both modifier and predicate stand before the subject, as in “In went Mr. Pickwick.” (Dickens) “Down dropped the breeze…” (Coleridge) жүктеу/скачать 0.64 Mb. Достарыңызбен бөлісу:
