1. Cf. the statement for SVO languages: # 1670. 2. In Dezsö’s proposal, then, immediate proximity to the finite verb is crucial to the occurrence of rhematic constituenets, and their relative positions with respect to the verb (before or after the verb) is determined by the type of language, namely SOV or SVO. Kim (#1655) made a similar observation independently from Dezsö’s studies (Kim 1988: 147).
