THE POSITION OF THE TAG-QUESTION IN A SENTENCE
Abstract
The article is devoted to one of the aspects of tag-question grammar - its position in a sentence. As it has been shown, in modern English the tag-question is characterized by shifting position. Although most frequently it occurs at the end of the structure, it is very often placed in the middle of the sentence after the part of the sentence it is connected with. In the article some peculiarities of tag-questions position in various periods are discussed. Sentences containing tag-questions from works of British writers of the period from 1500 till 1880 are analysed.
