The process-reversal opposition generates eight possible permutations, which Narmour calls ‘basic structures’(see Table 6.1). Table 6.1 Narmour’s eight basic structures P = Full process. IP = Intervallic process. Same interval, different register (that is, change of direction). VP = Registral process. Moves in same registral direction, but different interval. R = Full reversal.
