Detached constructions

Sometimes one of the secondary parts of the sentence by some spe­cific consideration of the writer is placed so that it seems formally independent of the word it logically refers to. Such parts of structures are called d e lacked. They seem to dangle in the sentence as isolat­ed parts. The detached part, being torn away from its referent, assumes a greater degree of significance and is given prominence by intonation. The structural patterns of detached constructions have not yet been classified, but the most noticeable cases are those in which an attri­bute or an adverbial modifier is placed not in immediate proximity to its referent, but in some other position, Detached constructions in their common forms make the written variety of language akin to the spoken variety where the relation between the component parts is effectively materialized by means of intonation. Detached construction, as it were, becomes a peculiar device bridging the norms of written and spoken language. Detached construction as a stylistic device is a typification of the syntactical peculiarities of colloquial language. Detached construction is a stylistic phenomenon which has so far been little investigated. The device itself is closely connected with the intonation pattern of the utterance.
