Abstract

This article discusses multiappositives as the bonus information for their anchor within the
construction of apposition. Therefore, the information related to the anchor becomes adequate.
Therefore, the anchor to which the appositives refer will easily be indersood. The bonus
information provided in appositives has certain semantic relation. This article uncovers 1) types
of multiappositives as the bonus information, 2) semantic relation in a construction of
apposition, and 3) sequential patterns of multiappositives as the bonus information. The aims
of this research are: 1) to identify and explain types of multiappositives, 2) to describe semantic
relation of multiappositives within the construction of apposition, and 3) to analyse the
sequential patterns of multiappositives. The data sources are taken from English printed media
within three levels of distributional coverage, i.e. national, regional and international. The data
analyzed are descriptive in nature, and the data analysis is conducted through employing the
method of qualitative research. To analyse such descriptive data, the distributional method of
analysis with the use of the following techniques: deleting, extracting, and intruding. The
results indicate that: 1) four types of multiappositives as the bonus information are found: a)
external multiappositives, b) internally-and-externally-related multiappositives, c) externallyrelated multiappositives, d) externally-and-integrally-related multiappositive, 2) semantic
relations found in a construction of apposition cover two types of semantic relations: a)
equivalence consisting of four types, namely designation equivalence, reformulation
equivalence, and appellative equivalence, and b) attribution, and 3) sequential patterns of
multiappositives as the bonus information are: 1) A, A1
, A
2
, A
3
, A
4
, 2) AA1=A2
and A2 = A3
, 3)
A = A1
; A1 = A2
; A2 = A3
, 4) : A = A1
; A1 = A2
; A2 = A3A
4
, where A represents the anchor,
while A1
, A2
, A3
, and A4
represent appositives.
