Abstract： If two language units X and Y are combined according to the conventional word order X+Y,the structure X+Y is called the conventional structure(or regular method structure).But sometimes(or under exceptional circumstances),we can invert the order of these two units and form the structure of Y+X,which is usually called the inverted structure(or variant structure).Such a definition of inversion will make its scope clear and can also exclude some specious phenomena like palindrome and the temporary changing of order.According to the various characteristics of these two language units(X and Y),the conventional structure(X+Y) and the inverted structure(Y+X) and the mutual relations among these four aspects involved in inversion phenomenon,we can classify inversion phenomena systematically with a multi-angle.Such a classification perspective not only is beneficial to reveal the characteristics of inversion thoroughly,but also can help to describe the characteristics of each subcategory deeply.
