Abstract

This research aims at showing the syntactic features of narration by Dr. Hassan Al-Bendary and their relation to the syntacticians’ rules. This aim is achieved through applying the phenomenon of syntactic affirmation to sentences in the story “Day” and investigating the most important phenomena of syntactic structure found in these sentences.
            The main reason for selecting such a phenomenon is that the affirmed sentences in the story are more than the negative sentences. Affirmation is a comprehensive term that encloses the confirmed and the unconfirmed. The affirmation is a term that can describe both structural sentences and statements.
            This research is divided into an introduction, a preface, and two chapters. The introduction: Reason for choosing the topic, aims of the study, study plan and methodology. Preface: defining the term Syntactic Affirmation and an overview of the story “Day”. Chapter One: Types of Syntactic Affirmation. Chapter Two: Phenomena of the Unconfirmed Syntactic Affirmation. Finally, the conclusion: findings and recommendations
