Apposition in Contemporary English is the first full-length
treatment of apposition. It provides detailed discussion of its
linguistic characteristics and of its usage in various kinds of
speech and writing, derived from the data of British and American
computer corpora. Charles Meyer demonstrates the inadequacies of
previous studies and argues that apposition is a grammatical
relation realized by constructions having particular syntactic,
semantic and pragmatic characteristics, of which certain are
dominant. The language of press reportage, fiction, learned writing
and spontaneous conversation is analyzed.
