This confirmed the<br clear='none'\/>\ntraditional analysis in Mayan linguistics that the syntactically<br clear='none'\/>\ndetermined basic word order is VOS in Kaqchikel, as in many other<br clear='none'\/>\nMayan languages. More importantly, the result revealed that the<br clear='none'\/>\npreference for subject-object word order in sentence comprehension<br clear='none'\/>\npreviously observed in other languages is not universal; rather,<br clear='none'\/>\nprocessing load in sentence comprehension is greatly affected by the<br clear='none'\/>\nsyntactic nature of individual languages.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ling-Lunch returns this week at its usual time and place with a talk by Masatoshi Koizumi.
