In this paper I discuss the phenomenon of mirror image properties Avtor na podlagi primerov iz angleščine, poljščine, malajščine, gotščine,
latinščine in klasične grščine razpravlja o lastnostih zrcalnih
podob v človeških jezikih. Kljub upoštevanju omejenega števila jezikov
ugotavlja, da je lastnost zrcalne podobe značilnost vseh jezikov
sveta. Razprava, ki se začenja z opisom naravnega pojava zrcalne
slike in se nadaljuje z opazovanjem tega pojava v jeziku, prikazuje
lastnosti zrcalne podobe na primeru stavkov, podvojitev in palindromov.
in human languages. I give examples from English, Polish, Malay,
Gothic, Latin and Classical Greek. Although I take into consideration
only a few languages, my paper has further implications, namely,
that mirror image properties exist in any language of the world. I
start with a description of the natural phenomenon of mirror image
and then extend my discussion to language. I talk about mirror image
sentences, reduplication, and palindromes.
