The English end-weight sentence is abnormally structured and ingeniously conceived,and is,therefore, particularly expressive and contagious.This paper studies the speeial construction of the end-weight sentence by way of contrast its Stnleture and that of the loose sentence.It also studies how its front weight in form co-exists harmoniously with its end-weight in meaning with the aid of the profound connotation of the end-weight principle of the English language. Furthermore,it probes into the clever means of delaying the appearance of the nuclear information of the sentence in order to create reader involvement.Finally,the paper pounds the rhetorical effect of the end-weight sentence by using splendid examples.
