Horretaz ikus daigun ondorengo artikulua ganik Hideki Yamamoto (2005) titulatzén "A historical view on areal distribution of word order around the world", non dioskún:

When the distribution is considered from a historical point of view, however, it is very likely that most of the areas had been covered with (S)OV-type languages and that the areas of a VO type had been very restricted before many large language families expanded after the Neolithic age. [Yamamoto, 2005]

edo, aurrerago:

The present work does demonstrate and argue that SOV order is most likely to have covered most of the world as far as we go back to the past based on the studies of areal and genetic distribution of word order of the world's languages, but it does not necessarily argue that SOV was the earliest word order of human languages. If SOV order was predominant in most areas on the globe when we trace back to the past, however, there should be some reason for this and it seems most likely that human languages originally started with SOV basic word order unless there are good grounds for judging that languages developed SOV order from another order. The reason for this, however, should be found in studies of pidgin or creole languages and language typology rather than in the speculation made by Givón based on tbe observation of animal comunication or language acquisition.

Beraz, eta labúrbilduz:
