Notes
1. * as a type of syntactic marking Lohmann mentions "agreement";** as a type of syntactic marking Lohmann mentions "rigid order".2. See comments to #894.3. While Bally had argued that inflections (déterminés) or their equivalents precede stems (déterminants)in the progressive order and follow stems in the anticipatory order, Hintze 1974 saw it the other way round. Again differing from Bally et al., Hintze believed that accent was preferably assigned to the déterminé, this being the semantic core of a construction, rather than to the déterminant. 4. Cf. Nichols’ statement (#438) about the correlation between the type of head/dependent marking and word order.
