Universal 1589: V-final ⇒ postposing ⇒ suffixes<\/h3>\n
\n
Original<\/dt>\n
Verb-final languages exhibit a very strong postposing tendency which leads to their preponderance of suffixes.<\/dd>\n
Standardized<\/dt>\n
IF basic order is verb-final, THEN there will be a strong tendency to place grammatical morphemes (grams) after the verb, and eventually to suffix them. <\/dd>\n

Counterexamples<\/dt>\n
V-final languages which are not predominantly suffixing: Worora (Wororan, Australian), Abkhaz (North Caucasian), Lahu (Burmese-Lolo, Tibeto-Burman), Haka (Baric, Tibeto-Burman), Nung (Nungish, Tibeto-Burman), Yessan-Mayo (Sepik-Ramu, Papuan), Mano (Mande, Niger-Congo), Slave (Athabaskan). Slave appears to be the only genuine exception in having entirely prefixed morphology \u2013 which includes person\/number, tense, aspect and mood \u2013 and at the same time V-final word order (Bybee, Pagliuca, & Perkins 1990: 8, 11);T\u00fcmpisa Shoshone [=Panamint] (Uto-Aztecan): OV & prefixes (Mithun 1999, cf. #892). <\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
