Universal Sentence Structure

A Realization in Spanish*

 

A thing occupies three-dimensional space and one-dimensional time. When language is expression of cognition, consisting of four dimensions as a whole, the minimum unit of language is a sentence. Therefore, the structure of cognition should correspond to that of sentences.

The first thing recognized at the beginning of time is expressed in the subject. The change or time is expressed in the VERJECT, distinct from the part of speech 'verb'. The end of the change is expressed in the direct object and the third party, in the indirect object. 

 

FORMULA 3 Expression of the Four-Dimensional Structure

 

             Sentence = Subject + Verject + Direct object + Indirect object

                                                                                                      (In no special order)
