Abstract

Linguistic construction embodies information that is plausible
to be modified in certain context when the speaker wants to
emphasize on certain aspect. This is the nature of language
users and the construction they produce. Each language is
assumed to possess its own various ways of structuring the
information spoken or written by the language user. English,
for example, which is known as fixed word order language
with SVO order has its various ways of structuring the
information delivered by the speaker to the interlocutor.
Preposing, postposing, and argument reversal are three best
ways to indicate which information is prominent in the
speaker’s mind so that the hearer will have the same concept
as the speaker. Those are included as the alternative ways to
construct sentence and propose syntactic choices to the
speaker. Information structure has been one of the most
intriguing fields of study involving both syntactic and
pragmatic analyses. Hence, this paper aims at describing the
noncanonical constructions in English and how they work to
package information by using the interface of both
disciplines.
