Grammar
How can I understand this grammatical structure?
How can I understand this grammatical structure?
"Progress towards a more explicit type of grammatical description is inevitably slow and the whole field of grammar is likely to remain an area of interesting controversy. While theoretical problems are not the concern of this book, our treatment cannot be neutral on the issues that enliven current discussion. For example, we would not wish to assert that total independence of grammar from phonology on the one hand and lexicology or sematics on the other as was implied in the deliberate oversimplification of 1.12f."
From the above sentence, I can't understand this part:
"For example, we would not wish to assert that total independence of grammar from phonology on the one hand and lexicology or sematics on the other as was implied in the deliberate oversimplification of 1.12f."
Above sentence is the same as the following?
"For example, on the one hand, we would not wish to assert that total independence of grammar from phonology and, on the other, lexicology or sematics as was implied in the deliberate oversimplification of 1.12f."
If so, I still can't understand how to understand the "as."
Could you tell me, please?

Thnaks, AlpheccaStars.
I got the idea of sentence structure.
And "the" was right.

Thanks, CalifJim.
I checked the book, and "the" was right. So, "to assert the independence of."
I got it.
Thanks, as always.
