This paper focuses on syntactic and pragmatic analyses in Subject Extraposition Construction(SEC). It is argued that movement and non-movement analyses have many syntactic shortcomings. It means that the former explains the unaccusative verbs and transitive verbs by using the different movement theory and the latter does not have the unified view of case checking. Overall, to cover various SECs, I suggest that predicate located between subject NP and extraposed PP is considered the important semantic factor under pragmatic analysis as followings: first, appearance or existence, second, the strength of importance and third, anaphoric or deictic meaning. This paper proposes that the semantic property of predicate regarded as head is conclusive to judge the acceptability of SEC.
