The grammatical code
of Latin employs totally different devices. For the meaning "dog bites
man" it marks the unit "dog" as nominative (cants),
the unit "man" as accusative (yirum),
and it can then combine these words with tnordet"bites"
in any order whatever. For the opposite message it would mark "dog"
as accusative (canem), "man"
as nominative (wr), and it could then again combine these with tnordetin any order at all.
English grammar
signals the difference between subject and object by means of word order; Latin
grammar signals it by means of inflectional endings; other languages use still
other device^ I
semantic connection at an, me
to or try
to come, tor example, or the 4yof quickly.
