[Lingtyp] AV / VS languages

[Matthew Dryer]

If you combine

Feature 82A: Order of Subject and Verb
https://wals.info/feature/82A#2/18.0/152.9

with

Feature 81A: Order of Subject, Object and Verb
https://wals.info/feature/81A#2/18.0/152.9

in WALS,

https://wals.info/combinations/82A_81A#2/17.9/153.0

you find 13 SVO/VS languages and 4 OVS/SV languages, though one would have to examine the sources to see whether any of these have relatively fixed word order.

Hi, all

Can anyone point me to some good descriptions of languages with relatively fixed constituent order that have S on the opposite side of the verb from A? Grammars would be preferable, but papers with solid and believable examples would also work.

Cheers,

David
