 | | In particular, one finds triplets of adverbs that are not transitively ordered (a must precede b, b must precede c, but a and c can occur in either order), and cases where adverbs and verbs (also arguments and adverbs) appear to be ordered by orthogonal relations. |
 | | I conclude that one should rethink the idea that word order phenomena is to be accommodated in sequences of `positions', where the `positions' are determined by FSEQ (and/or orhogonal relations). |
 | | In particular, V2 violations in Scandinavian interact with pronoun shift to show that the verb, in fact, does not move to `second position' as a head. |
