fn this article, two recent word order studies, i.e. Tomlin I&sic Word Order: Funttionai Principles, London: Groom Helm (1986)1, and Manning and Parker U_unguuge Sriences II, 43-65 f 1989)1, will be examined. Some specific and genera1 problems with these studies will be identified. Firstly, in Torniin’s study, the obse~ed predmninance of S in&I languages is unaccounted for; to remedy this flaw. an afternative differential weighting system is proposed. Secondly, it is argued that Manning and Parker’s (1989) figure/ground interpretation of basic word order is seriously problematic in that the support that they provide for the interpretation is both irrelevant and circular. In conclusion, non-linguistic evidence in the word order study is called for.
