The study on word-order typology is one of central issues in grammatical typology. Based on the data and typological analyses, it was reported that Minangkabaunese, the main local language originally used in West-Sumatera, has the basic grammatical construction in the word order SVO with the variation VOS and OSV. This paper, which is developed from a part of research report conducted in 2016 – 2017, specifically discusses the variation of word-order typology and degree of its acceptability in Minangkabaunese. The data were collected through the execution of field research and library study dealing with grammatical constructions in Minangkabaunese. The data analysis was based on relevant theories of word-order typology in Linguistic Typology. The results of analysis tell that: (i) Minangkabaunese has the basic grammatical constructions in the word order SVO with the variation VOS and OSV; (ii) the word order SVO is the highest degree of acceptability for formal language and commonly used by young-educated speakers; (iii) the word-order VOS is acceptable in classical-stylistic constructions; and (iv) the OSV word order is only used in topicalization construction in the pragmatic values are involved. The result of analysis and discussion presented in this paper may have meaningful ideas and significant contributions for further-critical studies on the word-order typology cross-linguistically.
