Author(s) Rabin Kumar Das

Abstract Abstract: Inversion is an important and significant linguistic phenomenon in English Linguistics. It is nothing but the reversal of normal word order. It is very vital to information packaging as it explicitly demonstrates the information-packaging function and the information structure of the discourse. The inverted word order is deftly employed to emphasize the relevant portion of the clause to convey the intended meaning. In written English, inversion plays a crucial role in conveying the desired meaning. Inversion is an effective and meaningful device of our verbal communication. There are a variety of inversion: subject-operator inversion, subject-verb inversion, locative inversion, additive inversion, weight inversion, obligatory inversion, optional inversion, etc.
Keywords Key Words: inversion, subject-operator, locative, intended meaning, effective device.
