Is this sentence grammatically correct? e.g for a journal paper's title:
Unemployment affects stress, what about the reverse?
-
1I'm sure that it's fine as two sentences (Unemployment affects stress. What about the reverse?). I also think that it's fine in informal speech (Unemployment affects stress - what about the reverse?). I'm inclined to believe that, with some punctuation tricks, it might be fine as a title (Unemployment Affects Stress – What about the Reverse?).– Damkerng T.Commented Jan 25, 2014 at 14:22

@DamkerngT. thanks, your comment is really a good ANSWER. It would be better if you have posted it as one.– Ehsan88Commented Jan 25, 2014 at 16:09

If you add since it would be fine: Since Unemployment affects stress, what about the reverse ?– bassriderCommented Jan 25, 2014 at 18:41

A journal title might be more along the lines of: Investigating the Correlation Between Unemployment and Stress as Both Cause and Effect. or something like that.– JimCommented Jan 26, 2014 at 2:43

I also think that it's fine in informal speech (I often see similar sentences in transcriptions),
Unemployment affects stress – what about the reverse?
I'm inclined to believe that, with some punctuation tricks, it might be fine as a title (I would use it myself),
Unemployment Affects Stress – What about the Reverse?

I think the topic has its own format(structure).
it can be used in this way ."unemployment affects Stress ?"
Grammatically may be true or false, but here mentioned for a journal title .
But grammatically I think It is better to use "What about the reverse of it ".
