The implication of transposition in the structure of positive and negative sentences has been studied from the point of Abd al-Qāhir al-Jurjānī's view in present essay. Transposition is a rhetorical subject being discussed in generative-transformative grammar. Jurjānī believed that words set in order in a sentence on the basis of their meanings, and emphasized that if the order of words in a sentence were not meaning-based, transposition, then, would have had no semantic value. He proves sagaciously the syntactic, rhetoric and semantic functions of transposition and tries, providing various examples, to explain his own viewpoints about transposition and to pay attention to the issue of meaning in the sentence construction. The results of present research, has been conducted through a descriptive-analytic method, show that many of Jurjānī’s opinions and views are closely related to modern linguistic theories. He was also concerned with word structure, principles of generative -transformative grammar, the unity of word and meaning (formalistic discourse), linguistic and non-linguistic contexts and believed that all the above-mentioned elements should be considered in a text understanding procedure
