Description

This comprehensive linguistic study examines the frequencies of six possible basic word orders (SOV, SVO, VSO, VOS, OSV, OVS) across nearly 1,000 languages, providing typologically grounded explanations rooted in functional principles of linguistic organisation. Drawing from a statistically representative sample of 400 languages that reflects both genetic and areal distributions of the world's languages, the research reveals critical patterns in how languages structure their constituent orders. The book offers a data-driven approach to understanding why certain word orders are more prevalent than others, grounding linguistic theory in observable cross-linguistic evidence and functional constraints that shape language structure.

Key Features

Analyses word order frequencies across a representative sample of 400 languages drawn from nearly 1,000 total languages worldwide.

Explains the six basic constituent orders (SOV, SVO, VSO, VOS, OSV, OVS) through three independent functional principles of linguistic organisation.

Provides statistically representative data accounting for both genetic and areal language distributions across the globe.

Grounds theoretical linguistics in empirical cross-linguistic evidence and typological analysis.
