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)
