Object-initial languages

[Ron Kuzar]

Dear Paul,
There is no reason to formulate a condescending answer. You could
imagine that I am aware of the complexities of non-narrative and
non-monologic text modes. I could still be entitled to believe that
monologic narrative style is - after all - central in human experience
and in language. I also didn't ask for VS literature, and I am quite aware
of the writings of my next-door neighbor Myhill. But all that aside, all
I wish to know is whether there are object-initial component orders for
the type of sentences in the type of style that I presented in my
previous message. And if at this particular position the term object
needs to be problematized, I would like to hear about that.
I am sorry I have hastily called this "the default order". I stand
corrected on this point.
