倒装

简介

倒装(Inversion)是将 谓语谓语的一部分 提到 主语 之前的语序结构,以表达 强调疑问条件修辞效果

按提前部分的多少可分为 22 类:

  • 完全倒装(Full Inversion):整个谓语动词提到主语前。
  • 部分倒装(Partial Inversion):助动词、情态动词或 be 提到主语前,实义动词保持原位。
正常语序:主语+谓语+其他\text{正�常语序:主语} + \text{谓语} + \text{其他} 完全倒装:谓语+主语+其他\text{完全倒装:谓语} + \text{主语} + \text{其他} 部分倒装:助动词+主语+实义动词+其他\text{部分倒装:助动词} + \text{主语} + \text{实义动词} + \text{其他}
