Interposition is a grammatical phenomenon where an element, such as a word or phrase, is inserted into a sentence to add information or modify the meaning without altering the overall structure of the sentence. This can occur with various parts of speech, including adjectives, adverbs, or additional phrases, often placed between the subject and the verb or within the verb phrase. For example, in the sentence "She, unexpectedly, arrived late," the adverb "unexpectedly" is interposed between the subject "she" and the verb "arrived." Understanding interposition is important for enhancing sentence clarity and detail while maintaining proper grammatical structure.
