The elements of symmetry in text structures

The present paper refers to general theory which is based on the Menzerath-Altmann law. This law defines the mutual relationships between the language levels inside a given text. They have important semantic consequences. The structure is observed from the view-point of possible changes (transformations, movements) in the treatment of the structural relations. We want to know what is invariant when such changes are applied. This approach follows the classical work on symmetry by Hermann Weyl (1952/1968).
