RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 La aposición en inglés: consideraciones sintácticas, semánticas y pragmáticas A1 Pérez Guerra, Javier AB By taking Quirk et al’s (1985) requirements for the so-called “strictfull apposition” –possibility of omission of the members, coreferentiality,formal identity and functional unity– as the point of departure, weenumerate the different problems faced when one attempts to give adefinition and classification of appositions in English, from both a syntacticand a semantic point of view.Once we agree with the fact that appositions are primarily pragmaticphenomena by means of which we expand that piece of informationassigned to a previous part of the speech according to the speakerand/or hearer’s needs, we are then able to answer the problems put forwardby the relevant literature and to suggest a suitable analysis.
