Yamamoto (2005): "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."

Esaten genuén an #2759:

..., badirudi ze Tomlin-ek konsideratu nahiko zituzkén hizkuntz familia hilak ere. Gure ikuspuntutik, ordea, askoz produktiboagoa da burutzea ondoko hiru azterketa hauek, nondik atera ahal dirén askoz konklusio esanguratsuagoak:

1.: Aztertzea nóla banatzen dirén hitz-ordenak an gaur egungo hizkuntza bizi guztiak.

2.: Aztertzea nóla banatzen zirén (banatu zitezkén) hitz-ordenak an hizkuntza-familia guztien versio zaharrenak (kasu honetan, familia biziak eta hilak ere bai). 

3.: Aztertzea nóla banatzen dirén (banatu zitezkén) hitz-ordenen aldaketa naturalak hala nola ere horiek induzituak ganik kontaktu linguistikoa (zéin baldintzatan gertatu diren, noiz gertatu diren, eta zéin norabidetan gertatu diren).

Hiru azterketa ezberdin, nahiz estuki lotuak (labur esanda, aztertuz oraingoa, lehengoa eta bitartekoa), eta kontua da ze Tomlin-ek (1986) burutu dú lehen azterketa (ikus ere [2749]). Gaur egun, bá al dugu informazio gehigarririk burúz goragoko beste bi azterketak?

Aztertua dugú goragoko lehen puntua, konkluituz honako hau (ikus #2763):

Eta behin azterketa sinkronikoa burututa, konkluitzen dugu ze (ikus #2762) :

..., Tomlin-en lagina da datu-multzo sinpleena zein hartu ahal dén kin helburu representatiboa respektu gaur egungo hitz-ordenen banaketa:

• OV → 185/402 = %46

• VO → 217/402 = %54
  

non, gaur egun, VO kopurua > OV kopurua.

eta, ez hainbeste, kontrakoa, nola Laka-k (2025) dioen.

Pasa gaitezen orain ki goragoko bigarren azterketa, alegia:

2.: Aztertzea nóla banatzen zirén (banatu zitezkén) hitz-ordenak an hizkuntza-familia guztien versio zaharrenak (kasu honetan, familia biziak eta hilak ere bai).  

Horretaz, gogoratuko dugú ondorengo artikulua ganik Hideki Yamamoto (2005), non autorea saiatzen den aurkitzen familia linguistiko askotako ordena zaharrenak, helduz ki honako konklusioa:

[#1337] Yamamoto (2005): "... it seems most likely that human languages originally started with SOV basic word order..."

Txopi-k atzo:

Badakigu beraz, nola izan ahal zen sintaxia on hizkuntzak an Neolitiko garaia.  [Txopi]

Horretaz ikus daigun ondorengo artikulua ganik Hideki Yamamoto (2005) titúlatzen "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:

... 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. [Yamamoto, 2005]

Gure ikuspuntutik, OVS ere aurki zitekén are lehenago zein SVO (hori ere OV), nahizta OVS ez da batere egonkorra azpi baldintza komunikatibo minimoki exigenteak.

Laburbilduz, ikerketa horren arabera, SOV izan zitekén munduko hizkuntza (ia) guztien ordena oso zahar bat (esan dugunez, argudiagarria da ze orohar OVS izan zitekén are zaharragoa, baina izanki hain hitz-ordena ez-egonkorra, joanen zén bihurtzen SOV). [#2767] [>>>]
