Line 1:
'''Hyperbaton''' is a [[figure of speech]] in which words that naturally belong together are separated from each other for emphasis or effect. This kind of unnatural or rhetorical separation is possible to a much greater degree in highly [[Inflection|inflected]] languages, where sentence meaning does not depend closely on [[syntax|word order]]. In [[Latin]] and [[Ancient Greek]], the effect of hyperbaton is usually to emphasize the first word. It has been called "perhaps the most distinctively alien feature of Latin word order."<ref>Andrew M. Devine, Laurence D. Stephens, ''Latin Word Order: Structured Meaning and Information'' (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2006), p. 524 (as cited by M. Esperanza Torrego in [http://ccat.sas.upenn.edu/bmcr/2006/2006-09-33.html ''Bryn Mawr Classical Review'' 2006.09.33]).</ref>
Hershiser married Jamie Byars. Byars and Hershiser had two children, Quinton and Jordan.
 
==Species of hyperbaton==
He and Jamie divorced in early 2005.
The term may be used in general for figures of disorder (deliberate and dramatic departures from standard word order). [[Aelius Donatus|Donatus]], in his work ''On [[Trope (linguistics)|tropes]]'', thus includes under hyperbaton five species: [[hysteron proteron|hysterologia]], [[anastrophe]] (for which the term hyperbaton is sometimes used loosely as a synonym), [[parenthesis (rhetoric)|parenthesis]], [[tmesis]], and [[synchysis]]. [[Apposition]] might also be included.

==Etymology==
== Hall of Fame voting? ==
"Hyperbaton" is a word borrowed from the Greek ''hyperbaton'' ({{polytonic|ὑπέρβατον}}), meaning "transposition," which is derived from ''hyper'' ("over") and ''bainein'' ("to step"), with the ''-tos'' verbal adjective suffix.
 
==Examples==
Does anyone know how Hershier did on his first year on the Hall of Fame ballot? Or is he not going to be on it until next year? -[[User:Darwin's Bulldog|Darwin&#39;s Bulldog]] 02:08, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
===Hyperbaton in English===
* Word order reversal in "Cheese I love!"
* One of the most popular examples - "Size matters not! Judge me by my size, do you?" - [[Yoda]] in "The Empire Strikes Back"
 
===Hyperbaton in highly inflected languages===
Okay, I found the voting polls on MLB Hall of Fame website. Hershiser received 11.2% in the voting, which makes him eligable to remain on the list for 2007, as a minimum of 5% is neceissary to remain on the ballet. [[User:128.111.97.60|128.111.97.60]] 23:08, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
*{{polytonic|ὑφ' <u>ἑνὸς</u> τοιαῦτα πέπονθεν ἡ Ἑλλὰς <u>ἀνθρώπου</u>}} ([[Demosthenes]] 18.158, "Greece has suffered such things at the hands of one person": the word "one", ''henos'', occurs in its normal place after the preposition "at the hands of" [''hypo''], but "person" [''anthrōpou''] is unnaturally delayed, giving emphasis to "one.")
*{{polytonic|πρός σε γονάτων}} (Occurs several times in [[Euripides]], "[I entreat] you by your knees": the word "you" [''se''] unnaturally divides the preposition "by" from its object "knees.")
*''ab <u>Hyrcanis</u> Indoque a litore <u>siluis</u>'' ([[Marcus Annaeus Lucanus|Lucan]] 8.343, "from the Hyrcanian woods and from the Indian shore": "and from the Indian shore" is inserted between "Hyrcanian" and "woods" [''siluis''])

Hey unsigned, you should get out more often or perhaps read a bit more, or maybe you aren't as much of a fan as you thought. Try reading the L.A. Times, or asking the man himself.

Oh, and watch your capitalization. When you say His wife, you mean Him, and not Mr. Hershiser.
