Verb movement in Biblical Aramaic: Verb-Subject (V-S) and Subject- Verb (S-V) relations

Abstract

From text: This chapter will determine the way in which word order in sentences with intransitive V’s can be derived. In BA, sentences with intransitive V’s reveal V-S and S-V word order. Various classes of conjugation (Perfect, Imperfect and Participle) as well as various kinds of sentences (for instance simple or complex sentences) will serve as further distinction in determining word order.
