Move axes labels up/down and left/right

Hi,

I have a question as to how to move the axes labels of the following chart, up/down and left/right

Plot[Sin[x], {x, -5, 5}]

For example, the x-axis labels occur under the x-axis, how can this be moved to be above the x-axis?
Likewise, the y-axis labels occur to the left of the axis, how can this be moved to be to the right of the y-axis?

Thanks!
Priyan.

There doesn’t seem to be any easy way, but everything’s possible:

p = Plot[Sin[x], {x, -5, 5}];
Show[FullGraphics[p], ImageSize -> 500, 
  AspectRatio -> 1/GoldenRatio] /. {
   Text[t_, p_, {0., 1.}] :> Text[t, {p[[1]], p[[2]] + .1}, {0, -1}],
   Text[t_, p_, {1., 0.}] :> Text[t, {p[[1]] + .25, p[[2]]}, {-1, 0}]
  }

But from what I’ve read (and according to this quick test) FullGraphics isn’t considered to be a reliable and problem-free Mathematica function. The tick marks have shrunk a bit, for example…

Thanks for this! I’m surprised it is relatively hard to do. Thanks again,
