Talk:C grammar

V2 tendency
Tendency to put a tense marker as the second constituent in a main clause isn't limited to Germanic or even to head-final languages. When looking up something else related to Arabic, I found that main clauses in Breton that don't use a state of being verb always put a tense carrier, glossed "does", second. This means it follows an initial verb or a fronted subject.[ref]Steve Hewitt. "Arabic: verb-subject-object or verb-given-new? Implications for word order typology".
