Abstract

That some typological relation exists between the order of the object with respect to the verb and the order of the relative clause (RC) with respect to its Head is known since Greenberg (1963). While VO languages (SVO, VSO and VOS) have postnominal RCs, prenominal RCs are found almost exclusively in OV languages.1 In other words: (1) a. VO ⊃ NRel
