Minangkabaunese has four main grammatical properties dealing with word-order typology, namely: (i) basic grammatical constructions with the word order S-V-O with the variation V-O-S and O-S-V; (ii) the word order S-V-O is the highest degree of acceptability for formal language and commonly used by young-educated speakers; (iii) the word-order V-O-S is acceptable in old-stylistic constructions; and (iv) the O-S-V word order, however, is the order of topicalization constructions in which pragmatic values are functionally dominant. Markedness is one of grammatical testing to assign whether one form word-order is more basic than the others. This paper specifically discusses the hierarchy of “basicness” of word-order typology in Minangkabaunese based on markedness theory. The main question answered in this paper is that how basic is one among the others of word-order typology of Minangkabaunese based on formal and functional markedness? The data presented and discussed in this paper were collected through the execution of a field research and supported by library study dealing with grammatical constructions of Minangkabaunese. The data were in the forms of spoken and written ones. The data analysis used relevant theories of formal and functional markedness. The results of analysis reveal that the word order S-V-O is more basic than V-O-S and O-S-V in Minangkabaunese. It should be noted as well that the hierarchy of word-order basicness in this local language tends to treat a nominative-accusative construction as the basic clause construction. Such construction is the modern-formal clause construction in Minangkabaunese.
