[[English]]
ipa :/ɪnˈvɚ.ʒən/[Noun]
editinversion (countable and uncountable, plural inversions)
1.The action of inverting.
2.Being in an inverted state; being upside down or in a reverse sequence.
3.(music) The reversal of an interval; the move of one pitch in an interval up or down an octave.
4.(music) The position of a chord which has a note other than the root as its bass note.
5.(music) The flipping of a melody or contrapuntal line so that high notes become low and vice versa; the reversal of a pitch contour.
6.(genetics) A segment of DNA in the context of a chromosome that is reversed in orientation relative to a reference karyotype or genome.
7.(meteorology) A situation where air temperature increases with altitude (the ground being colder than the surrounding air).
Synonym: temperature inversion
8.(grammar) Deviation from standard word order by putting the predicate before the subject. It takes place in questions with auxiliary verbs and in normal, affirmative clauses beginning with a negative particle, for the purpose of emphasis.
Inversion takes place in the sentence 'Is she here?' — 'is', the predicate, is before 'she', the subject. (with an auxiliary verb)
Inversion takes place in the sentence 'Never have I done that.' — 'have', the predicate, is before 'I', the subject, due to 'never' being the first word of the sentence. (for the purpose of emphasis)
9.2007/08, abergs, “INFL-to-COMP movement”, in English Language and Linguistics Online[1], retrieved 2014-05-22:
Question formation involves the phenomenon commonly known as subject-auxiliary inversion, a change in word order in which the auxiliary moves in front of the subject.
(a) Here we shall describe this phenomenon in terms of movement of the element under INFL into COMP position.
(b) According to this analysis, what looks like an exchanging of positions between the subject and auxiliary (or INFL element, in GB terms) is actually the movement of the INFL element past the subject position into COMP.
(c) INFL-to-COMP movement seems to be triggered by the presence of the [+WH] feature in COMP.
10.(algebra) An operation on a group, analogous to negation.
11.(psychology, obsolete) Homosexuality, particularly in early psychoanalysis.
12.1897, W. Havelock Ellis, Sexual Inversion, p. 202:
We can seldom, therefore, congratulate ourselves on the success of any "cure" of inversion.
13.1975, R. M. Koster, The Dissertation (page 118)
My father, León Fuertes, was a fag three years; […] He put on all the trappings of inversion: the twittered mouthings, the hyper-feminine moues, the languid mincings.

editFrom Old Irish a, from Proto-Celtic *esyo (the final vowel triggering lenition), feminine Proto-Celtic *esyās (the final -s triggering h-prothesis), plural Proto-Celtic *eysom (the final nasal triggering eclipsis), all from the genitive forms of Proto-Indo-European *éy. Cognate with Welsh ei.
[Etymology 2]
editA reduced form of older do (itself a reanalysis of do used in past tenses, and also present in early modern verbs like do-bheirim (“I give”), do-chím (“I see”)), or from the preverb a- in early modern verbs like a-tú (“I am”), a-deirim (“I say”) in relative clauses.
[Etymology 3]
editFrom Old Irish a (“that, which the relative particle used after prepositions”), reanalyzed as an independent indirect relative particle from forms like ar a (“on which, on whom”), dá (“to which, to whom”), or early modern le a (“with which, with whom”), agá (“at which, at whom”) when prepositional pronouns started to be repeated in such clauses (eg. don té agá mbíon cloidheamh (…) aige, daoine agá mbíonn grádh aco do Dhia). Compare the forms used in Munster instead: go (from agá (“at which”)) and na (from i n-a (“in which”), go n-a (“with which”), ria n-a (“before which”) and later lena (“with which”), tréna (“through which”)).

Man kan imidlertid ikke forvente, at patienten på egen hånd formår at indkredse og fortælle om kernen i sine vanskeligheder. Ofte vil patienten snarere udleve, gentage og i en vis forstand demonstrere, hvad der er kernen i hendes problem, via den måde, hun fortæller om sig selv og sit liv på, og den måde, hvorpå hun relaterer sig til og interagerer med terapeuten.
However, one cannot expect that the patient is, on her own, able to specify and speak of the core of her difficulties. Rather, the patient will often live, repeat and in a sense demonstrate, what the core of her problem is, through the way she speaks of herself and her life, and the way in which she relates to and interacts with the therapist.
