What is the difference between inversion and fronting?
【正确答案】:Inversion is often taken to be similar to fronting, with the mistaken idea that they both move an item to the front position. Their difference is twofold: first, inversion involves the reversal of subject verb order while fronting usually does not; in the second place, whereas fronting usually transfers the information focus from the final position to the front, inversion may comply with either fronting or postponement depending on its structure.
