There are correlations between following parameters: OV word order, Tensedness, Casedness, AND-Construction, Absolute Converb.
Standardized
IF basic word order OV, THEN Tensedness, Casedness, AND-Construction, and Absolute Converb. IF Tensedness, THEN basic word order OV, Casedness, AND-Construction, and Absolute Converb. IF Casedness, THEN basic word order OV, Tensedness, AND-Construction, and Absolute Converb. IF AND-construction, THEN basic word order OV, Tensedness, Casedness, and Absolute Converb. IF Absolute Converb, THEN basic word order OV, Tensedness, Casedness, and AND-Construction.
1. Definitions: A language is tensed, if predicates in main sentences are obligatorily marked for a Past-NonPast distinction by means of bound morphology.A language is cased if it has morphological (dependent) marking to indicate the difference between subjects and direct objects, at least for pronouns.A language is an AND-language if there is structural or lexical difference between Noun Phrase Conjunction and Comitative. If there is no such distinction, the language is a WITH-language. A language is Absolute if, in a sentence which expresses two simultaneous propositions with different subjects, one of the predicates can (or must) take a subordinate form (a so-called ‘converb’). If it is not possible (and the construction therefore consists of two conjoined sentences), the language is Non-Absolute. 2. Cf. ##801, 1012, 664.
