Word Order Typology SOV/SVO/VSO Lookup
Classify one caller explicitly annotated clause permutation, not a claim of dominant word order for a language or automatic syntax/subject detection.
Description
Word-order labels describe annotated subject, verb and object positions in a clause.
Word-order labels describe annotated subject, verb and object positions in a clause. One clause is not a language’s dominant typology.1
Enter exactly three whitespace-separated uppercase tokens containing S, V and O once each. Return compact label and zero-based positions.
When to use Word Order Typology SOV/SVO/VSO Lookup
Use Word Order Typology SOV/SVO/VSO Lookup when you need to evaluate the supplied records under the calculation and evidence rules below. No constituents are detected from prose and no language-wide classification is inferred.
Prepare explicit text tokens, annotated language observations, caller mappings or a supported locale as requested. Preserve source evidence and the stated Unicode counting convention.
How to use Word Order Typology SOV/SVO/VSO Lookup and understand its results
- Prepare explicit text tokens, annotated language observations, caller mappings or a supported locale as requested. Preserve source evidence and the stated Unicode counting convention.
- Enter observedConstituentOrder using the field table and calculation rules, then run the tool.
- Read canonicalWordOrderType, subjectPosition, verbPosition, objectPosition. The explanation below defines the units, signs, ordering and any flags or placeholder values.
- If the tool reports an input issue, correct the values and run it again. Apply the stated assumptions when interpreting a successfully returned result.
| Input field | Meaning | Value type; see rules below | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| observedConstituentOrder | Observed constituent order | string | Required |
Enter exactly three whitespace-separated uppercase tokens containing S, V and O once each. Return compact label and zero-based positions.
type=concatenated S,V,O permutation Units, indexing, boundary conditions and exceptional cases are defined in the calculation rules above.
| Output field | Meaning | Value type |
|---|---|---|
| canonicalWordOrderType | Canonical word order type | string |
| subjectPosition | Subject position | number |
| verbPosition | Verb position | number |
| objectPosition | Object position | number |

}Limitations and assumptions
No constituents are detected from prose and no language-wide classification is inferred.
Numeric inputs, where present, must be finite. Follow the calculation-specific rules for overflow, underflow and exceptional cases. Extremely large text inputs are rejected. Missing required fields, extra fields, wrong value types and violations of the calculation rules are input errors.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use Syllable Structure Type Lookup (CV/CVC): A syllable pattern records onset, nucleus and coda under a caller’s segmentation. Multiple V symbols may represent a multi-vowel nucleus. For a complementary task, use Language Family Tree Depth Lookup: A family-tree forest gives each node at most one parent. Depth and lineage depend on the caller’s explicit classification.
