Much of this discussion is of course philosophy of science 101 - how is that we construct generalizations based on particulars.

<div class="">James’s statement of this in his work on Radical Empiricism still is one of my favorites: "<span style="color: rgb(37, 37, 37); font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgb(249, 249, 249);" class="">Just so, I maintain, does
a given undivided portion of experience, taken in one context of associates, play the part of a knower, of a state of mind, of 'consciousness'; while in a different context the same undivided bit of experience plays the part of a thing known, of an objective
'content.' In a word, in one group it figures as a thought, in another group as a thing. And, since it can figure in both groups simultaneously we have every right to speak of it as subjective and objective, both at once. (James 1912, Essay I)"</span></div>

As far as I can remember, these factors do not a major play a role in Matthew’s word order studies, but in my view they are highly relevant in a cross-linguistic investigation of word order patterns. I have discussed them in various places (see especially Rijkhoff
2004: 327-332; also Rijkhoff 2015).</div>

I want to return to near the beginning of the recent discussion, when both Jan Rijkhoff and Randy LaPolla raised issues in response to my drawing attention to the fact that Greenberg’s claim that verb-initial languages tend to place the adjective after the
noun is misleading (since they do so to the same extent as verb-final languages).</div>

</p>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman';" class="">
There are two assumptions that Jan and Randy seemed to make that I think are at the heart of the discussion. The first assumption may not in fact be one that either Jan or Randy made, though it would not be an unreasonable assumption to make, given my published
work.</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman';">
</p>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman';" class="">
The first apparent assumption is that in collecting data on the order of adjective and noun, what I did was to collect this data without paying attention to the grammatical properties of these “adjectives” (what I prefer to call semantic adjectives, though
the label is not ideal), particularly the extent to which they behave like verbs and the extent to which they behave like nouns. The second assumption is that the word order behaviour of semantic adjectives varies considerably depending on these other properties.
Both of these assumptions are false.</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman';">
</p>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman';" class="">
With respect to the first assumption, I have spent considerably more time over the years examining the grammatical properties of semantic adjectives than I have examining the order of adjective and noun, primarily the extent to which they behave like verbs
or nouns.<span class=""> <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span>I have definitely not ignored these differences. My reason for spending so much time on this is precisely because I was curious whether there were differences in word order patterns
varying with the extent to which semantic adjectives exhibit verbal or nominal properties. The overall conclusion from this is: very little.<span class=""> <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span>The word order patterns of semantic adjectives are
very similar, regardless of whether they are verbal, nominal, or neither. Let me discuss briefly two examples of contrary claims in the literature.</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman';">

<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman';" class="">
In the paper of his that Randy provided a link to, he cites Van Valin (1986) and Lehmann (1986) as providing evidence that ‘<span style="font-family: Times;" class="">adjectives which are highly nominal in nature precede the noun they modify in OV languages,
while those which are highly verbal in nature follow the noun they modify’. However, on the basis of a sample of approximately 300 languages in which the semantic adjectives exhibit nominal features, it turns out that this is not true. In my data, adjectives
which are nominal in nature more often follow the noun, like adjectives which are verbal in nature. There is one area of the world where we do find a lot of OV languages that are AdjN and in which the adjectives are often nominal, and that is Eurasia excluding
Sino-Tibetan and other families of southeast Asia. I suspect that Van Valin’s and Lehmann’s conclusions were influenced by this pattern, which I suspect is simply a reflection of two accidentally coinciding common traits throughout this area of Eurasia, namely
OV&AdjN order and a tendency for semantic adjectives to be nominal in nature. It is true that the preference for NAdj order is higher in my data among languages in which the semantic adjectives are verbal, though the difference falls short of statistical significance.
It is possible that this difference is real and if so has a ready explanation: relative clauses show a strong tendency to follow nouns among all languages and getting a higher proportion of NAdj order among languages in which semantic adjectives are verbal
is hardly surprising. But the difference is much less than the quote from LaPolla would suggest.</span></div>

<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman';" class="">
<span style="font-family: Times;" class="">The second case involves the position of semantic adjectives relative to the numeral and noun when both occur on the same side of the noun. The usual pattern is for the adjective to occur between the numeral and the
noun, in either Num-Adj-Noun or Noun-Adj-Num order. Rijkhoff (2008: 804) claims that exceptions to this, namely Adj-Num-Noun or Noun-Num-Adj, must involve distinct syntactic constructions, such as ones where the adjective is verbal and a type of relative clause.
However, in an almost-completed paper of mine reporting the order of demonstrative, numeral, adjective and noun in a sample of over 500 languages, I find little evidence to support this claim of Rijkhoff’s. There are a very small number of cases where his
line of explanation is plausible but they are clearly the exceptions. Let me present two kinds of evidence from my paper bearing on this. The data in the following table distinguishes semantic adjectives with verbal properties from semantic adjectives lacking
verbal properties, restricting attention to languages where the adjective and numeral occur on the same side of the noun. The numbers are numbers of genera rather than numbers of languages:</span></div>

As the table shows, semantic adjectives which are verbs show the same strong tendency to occur closer to the noun than the numeral that we find with semantic adjectives which are not verbal. And the majority of cases where the adjective is further from the
noun are ones where the adjective is nonverbal. In other words, the verbal nature of some semantic adjectives has little effect on their position relative to the numeral and noun.</div>

In other words, despite the fact that all these modifiers involve relative clauses, the one involving a semantic adjective must occur closer to the noun. Even though these semantic adjectives are verbs, they occur closer to the noun, unlike relative clauses
involving other verbs. My paper presents data from a number of other languages exhibiting a similar pattern.</div>

In a way this should not be surprising. A common hypothesis is that modifiers representing more inherent properties are more likely to occur closer to the noun. Since ‘white’ is more inherent than ‘sleeping’, it is not surprising that it occurs closer to the
noun. In other words, it is the semantics that is relevant, not the particular construction.</div>

In short, it is not the case that I ignored the finer properties of semantic adjectives. Rather, I have collected a large amount of data that shows that these finer properties have little affect on their word order position, contrary to the claims of of LaPolla
and Rijkhoff.</div>
