partial and a complete inversion.
Various types of stylistic inversion (change of word-order), aimed at attaching logical 
stress or additional emotional colouring to the surface meaning of the sentence: 
complete
:
(a) the predicate precedes the subject (the predicate is before the link verb and both are 
placed before the subject); 
(b) both adverbial modifier and predicate are before the subject 
partial
:
(a) the object precedes the subject-predicative unit;
(b) the auxiliary element of the compound verbal predicate precedes the subject; 
(c) the predicative precedes the subject; 
(d) the adverbial modifier or the preposition of a phrasal verb is intentionally placed at 
the beginning of the sentence; 
(e) the attribute is placed after the word it modifies (postposition of the attribute).
The stylistic device of inversion should not be confused with grammatical inversion 
which is a norm in interrogative constructions.
Stylistic inversion in Modern English should not be regarded as a violation of the norms 
of Standard English. It is only the practical realization of what is potential in the language 
itself.

THE TYPES OF REPETITION ON THE SYNTACTICAL LEVEL
: 
•
repetition of an abstract syntactical position 
(this is observed in any sentence 
comprising two or more 
homogeneous
parts, which relate syntactically 
but
not 
semantically)
