英文句子成分后移的强调手段

On the Means of Stress by Postpositioning the Sentence Elements in English

英文的强调手段往往是与句子中的词序变动有着密切的关系。通过改变词序来实现强调的手段主要有“句子成分的后移”和“句子成分的前置”,而“成分后移”在这两种主要的强调手段中又占主要部分。根据末端中心和句尾重心的原则,句尾是表示强调的位置,因此将句子的某个成分移出其正常的位置并且置于句尾就会对这一成分产生强调的效果。本文着重探讨主语后移、宾语后移、名词修饰语后移、反身代词后移、比较分句后移、程度分句后移以及掉尾句等通过句子成分的后移来实现的句子强调手段。
