The Greenbergian Word Order Correlations
This paper reports on the results of a detailed empirical study of word order correlations, based on a sample of 625 languages. The primary result is a determination of exactly what pairs of elements correlate in order with the verb and object. Some pairs of elements that have been claimed to correlate in order with the verb and object do not in fact exhibit any correlation. I argue against the...
متن کاملThe evidence for word order correlations
Dunn et al. (2011) argue for the following four theses. First, they argue that there is no evidence of a crosslinguistic word order correlation between certain pairs of elements for which a correlation has been claimed in the previous literature. Second, they argue that although some correlations do exist, they are specific to individual families and not universal. Furthermore, they argue that,...

متن کاملEvaluating Word Order Recursively over Permutation-Forests
Automatically evaluating word order of MT system output at the sentence-level is challenging. At the sentence-level, ngram counts are rather sparse which makes it difficult to measure word order quality effectively using lexicalized units. Recent approaches abstract away from lexicalization by assigning a score to the permutation representing how word positions in system output move around rela...
متن کاملEvaluating Competition-based Models of Word Order
The ordering of constituents in semi-free word order languages has attracted considerable attention in theoretical linguistics. Three types of models have been proposed to explain word order preferences, based on (a) weighted constraints, (b) Optimality Theory (c) syntactic weight. All three models use grammatical competition to explain the interaction of word order constraints. They rely on in...
