Universal 501: VSO ⇒ Aux V;
SOV ⇒ V Aux<\/h3>\n
\n
Original<\/dt>\n
In languages with dominant order VSO, an inflected auxiliary always precedes the main verb. In languages with dominant order SOV, an inflected auxiliary always follows the main verb.<\/dd>\n
Standardized<\/dt>\n
IF the dominant order is VSO, THEN an inflected auxiliary always precedes the main verb.
IF the dominant order is SOV, THEN an inflected auxiliary always follows the main verb.<\/dd>\n

Counterexamples<\/dt>\n
Yaqui (Uto-Aztecan), Isthmus Mixe, and Chimalapa Zoque (both Mixe-Zoquean) are SOV and have the inflected verb ‘be able’ preceding the main verb (Pickett 1983: 540);Island Carib (Northern Maipuran): it has inflected auxiliaries that follow the main verb in spite of being VSO (anonymous reader, cited by Heine (1993: 133, note 4));The only VO language in Dryer\u2019s sample from Australia-New Guinea area has V Aux order; South American VO languages exhibit both orders: V Aux and Aux V, African and Eurasian VO languages show a clear tendency for Aux V order but there are cases violating this correlation. The correlation OV & V Aux is violated only by some languages from the African area (Dryer 1992: 100). Dryer\u2019s data show that this correlation cannot be considered as absolute. <\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
