Heaviness Serialization Principle:
Rel ≥ Gen ≥ Adj ≥ (Dem\/Num).<\/p>\n

Relative heaviness is a composite notion defined in terms of (at least) the following four factors:
length and quantity of morphemes, quantity of words, syntactic depth of branching nodes, inclusion of dominated constituents.<\/dd>\n

Standardized<\/dt>\n
Within noun phrases, lighter constituents tend to precede heavier constituents, as follows:<\/p>\n

Dem\/Num ≥ Adj ≥ Gen ≥ Rel<\/p>\n
