Constituent Order Typology

This paper describes a study designed to investigate the constituent order typology. The purpose of the study is to determine the extent of constituent order. Constituent order typology has played a major role in the development of language typology. A problem in assigning basic constituent order is where the language has different basic constituent orders in different constructions. The major idea in this area is the assumption of the two canonical constituent order types, operator-operand (adjunct-head) and operand-operator (head-adjunct). If a language does not adhere to one of these two types, then change will be initiated to bring it into conformity with one or the other.
