Dryer 1988: 191: “There is no evidence of any relationship between the order of Verb and Object and the order of Adjective and Noun”.Dryer 1988: 200: “There is no clear evidence for the correlation between Genitive-Noun and Adjective-Noun order.” 2. Yagua is a postpositional language. Payne 1986 therefore suggests to further restrict this nested implication to prepositional languages only:VSO & Prep => (N A=> N G).3. Since the 1990s, Hawkins proposes alternative explanations of his universals (see e.g. Hawkins 1993: 234).
