Abstract:

This book presents a comprehensive corpus-based analysis of full-verb 
inversion in present-day English. The author examines the distribution and 
pragmatic functions of full-verb inversion in different fictional and non-fictional 
text styles as well as in the spoken language. Surprisingly enough, inversion 
in oral communication has not yet received the attention it deserves, since 
most work on the topic has been restricted to the written language. It has 
often been claimed that full-verb inversion occurs mainly in written discourse, 
but these claims have not yet been backed up by a detailed corpus-based 
analysis. This book provides a more conclusive picture of the distribution of 
full inversion in speech and writing and analyses the distinct pragmatic 
functions that the construction serves in these two modes of communication.
