title = "The Branching Direction Theory of Word Order Correlations Revisited",
abstract = "In this paper, I discuss implications for the Branching Direction Theory proposed by Dryer (1992a) for accounting for the Greenbergian word order correlations if one assumes much flatter constituent structures than those assumed in Dryer (1992a) and in much work in generative syntax. Some correlations that are not accounted for by the Branching Direction Theory if we assume flatter constituent structures, such as the order of article and noun, can be accounted for by proposals in Hawkins (1994).",
