Word Order and Generative Grammar

The paper explores the typological categorization of word order in natural languages, focusing on the foundational principles of generative grammar. It discusses how different word order typologies, primarily based on the relationships between subjects, verbs, and objects, provide insights into linguistic universals. By analyzing the compatibilities and discrepancies between various categorization methods, the study aims to better understand both the generalizability and the limitations inherent in these linguistic frameworks.
