Determinacy is one of the desiderata imposed on syntax. This paper argues as one of its consequences that asymmetry is maximized in language and considers the labeling of XP-YP, which is problematic given the maximization of asymmetry. I propose asymmetric labeling for symmetric XP-YP structures. I argue that XP-YP can be labeled asymmetrically given Agree and Transfer, both of which make asymmetric relations possible, showing that it does not go against deterministic rule application. The discussion in the paper suggests that asymmetry is not a preference for labeling.
