Precedence among predicates

Abstract The serialization patterns of result predicates correlate in aspecific manner with headedness: in VO languages, resultpredicates are found potentially in two different positions, a V-adjacent one and a position at the end of the VP. In OVlanguages, the position of result predicates is invariably V-adjacent. The serialization of depictive predicates with respectto result predicates is a function of both a contiguityrequirement between the depictive predicate and its target, andthe identification parameter for argument positions.
