Knut Olawsky: Urarina - Evidence for OVS Constituent Order. Leiden Papers in Linguistics 2.2, 43-68.

Abstract: This paper investigates the pervasive OVA/VS structure of Urarina syntax, which is indeed manifested both qualitatively and quantitatively. OVA/VS is the unmarked order for transitive and intransitive clauses, both as independent and dependent, with affirmative as well as with negated verbs. The few cases in which an alternative (AOV/SV) order is possible can be confined to pragmatically dependent contexts that involve focus or emphasis with subsequent fronting of the subject. The position of core arguments will be analysed so as to highlight its exceptional status in terms of a cross-linguistic approach.
