Hulk (1991) (p. 17), who cite Schwartz and Tomasello as claiming “SVOI is not a possible word order of natural languages”, although Hulk found that 13% of her first grade Dutch learners of French guessed the following to be acceptable French, though it’s NOT; I think it has rather a nice ring: (1) Je crois que Jean mange´e les fraises a I believe that Jean eaten the strawberries has Van Kemenade (cf. citation OE2 ) also argues on the basis that the above word order does not appear in OE. • OE1p : SOIV: Pintzuk (1999), p. 29, ex. 12: (2) þæt he þæt godes hus wolde mid fyre forbærnan that he the god’s house would with fire burn “... that he would burn the house of God with fire ...” (ÆLS 25.613-614) • OE2 : SVIO: Pintzuk (1999), p. 25, ex. 7: (3) þæt ænig mon atellan mæge ealne þone demm that any man relate can all the misery “... that any man can relate all the misery ...” (Or 52.6-7)
