  3. Understanding Apposition Appositives

  4. An appositive is a word or group of words that identifies or renames another word in a sentence. As we've seen (in the article What Is an Appositive?), appositive constructions offer concise ways of describing or defining a person, place, or thing. In this article you will learn how to construct sentences with appositives.

  5. Jimbo Gold is a professional magician. • Jimbo Gold performed at my sister's birthday party. • Jimbo Gold, a professional magician, performed at my sister's birthday party. • The appositive a professional magicianserves to identify the subject, Jimbo Gold.

  6. Arizona Bill, "The Great Benefactor of Mankind," toured Oklahoma with herbal cures and a powerful liniment. • Note that this appositive, like most, could be omitted without changing the basic meaning of the sentence. In other words, it's nonrestrictive and needs to be set off with a pair of commas.

  7. Occasionally, an appositive may appear in front of a word that it identifies: • A dark wedge, the eagle hurtled earthward at nearly 200 miles per hour. • An appositive at the beginning of a sentence is usually followed by a comma.

  8. In each of the examples seen so far, the appositive has referred to the subject of the sentence. However, an appositive may appear before or after any noun in a sentence. In the following example, the appositive refers to roles, the object of a preposition:

  9. by the roles- prepositional phrase • People are summed up largely by the roles they fill in society--wife or husband, soldier or salesperson, student or scientist--and by the qualities that others ascribe to them. • This sentence demonstrates a different way of punctuating appositives--with dashes. When the appositive itself contains commas, setting off the construction with dashes helps to prevent confusion. Using dashes instead of commas also serves to emphasize the appositive.

  10. Placing an appositive at the very end of a sentence is another way to give it special emphasis. Compare these two sentences: • At the far end of the pasture, the most magnificent animal I had ever seen--a white-tailed deer--was cautiously edging toward a salt-lick block.At the far end of the pasture, the most magnificent animal I had ever seen was cautiously edging toward a salt-lick block--a white-tailed deer.
