Sheehan2017b: statistics (generated) #

Auto-generated from Linglib/Data/Statistics/Sheehan2017b.json by scripts/gen_statistics.py. Do not edit by hand: edit the JSON and re-run the generator.

The cross-linguistic positions of polar question particles and complementizers, from features 92A and 94A of the World Atlas of Language Structures. A language counts as initial or final for each head; the four combinations are the two consistent orders, an initial complementizer over a final particle (the inverse of the final-over-final configuration) and a final complementizer over an initial particle (the final-over-final configuration).

References #

The position of a head in its phrase.

  • initial : Position

    Initial: before its complement

  • final : Position

    Final: after its complement
