Chapter 1 Introduction
1.1 The Background of the Study
Inversion is a very special sentence structure in the use of language. In English, language users prefer to use inversion more to express their special feelings and attitudes. There are many kinds of inversion used in English. In daily communication, it is an important way to convey information or emphasize the points the speakers hold. Many eminent scholars point out that inversion is a way to rearrange structures of sentences. The ordinary pattern of the English declarative sentence is “subject + predicate + complement”. This model embodies the basic linear order of the English language, and presents “given information + new information” construction. However, the pattern of inversion becomes “complement (ground) + predicate + subject (figure)”. Inversion has always been one of the subjects which scholars are interested in studying both at home and abroad. For rhetoric scholars, inversion is regarded as a modifying technique in discourse. C. Baldick and Feng Cuihua studied the rhetorical functions of inversion in terms of foreground, contrast, sentence balance, and so on. For linguists, inversion is seen as a marked sentence pattern. Quirk et al, Zhang Daozhen and Zhang Zhenbang studied the inverted construction from the perspective of syntax, analyzing the constituents of the sentence patterns. G. Ward and B. Birner explained the inversion from the point of information-packaging, while H. Dorgelohexpounded this construction from the perspective of function. Chen Rong proposed a Ground-before-Figure model to study inversion and claimed that the inverted sentence emphasized both the pre-verbal and the post-verbal elements (Zhang, 2008). Different people hold different understandings of inversion. All the studies are designed to help understand inversion clearly and deeply. But few studies focus on the inversion in Pride and Prejudice from the perspective of Figure-Ground Theory. This
thesis aims at making preliminary research on inversion in English novel Pride and Prejudice based on the studies which scholars did before.

1.2 The Significance and Objective of the Study
Inversion is an important tool to rearrange information. It changes the location of sentence components to convey information in an optimized and economical way. It makes the whole passage much more fluent, natural and coherent. Most linguists prefer to study some special sentence constructions from the perspectives of linguistic points. The study will break through the old perspectives
