Abstract :

Each sentence, regardless of its type , consists of general constituents . Every constituent carries some information. A combination of these constituents' meanings gives the complete meaning of the sentence or the idea behind an utterance . Not all the sentence constituents have the same importance in relation to the whole meaning of the sentence . Almost every sentence can be organized in several ways to give a special attention to a particular element. Thus Fronting, exraposittion, existential, inversion and clefting are styles of sentence structure to introduce the sentence with a different meaning. The present essay attempts an analytical study of English cleft sentence. The sentence to be cleft should be organized in a way that emphasizes one of its elements . Punctuation marks would be a helpful factor in this respect . This is so if it is written language ; for the spoken one, intonation, stress, pause, and prominence are significant features that reflect the importance of an utterance . The various sections here deal in detail with cleft sentences and the related aspect. It is important to mention that the word ' cleft ' relates to Gaelic influence on English sentence.
