<div>This request is for a colleague who's not on the list. Does anyone know of recent cross-linguistic work on the positional tendencies of complement clauses? It's often said that postverbal or sentence-final position is preferred or most frequent, regardless
of the order of A, O, and V. That is what Dryer 1980 found, using a survey of 31 languages. We wonder if there has been a larger survey since then.<br>
