Verb-initial word order to derive the structures of verb-initial languages from underlyingly SVO structures, functional linguists would look at how cognitive principles make it possible for languages to have different word orders and why certain word orders are more common, less common, or almost non-existent. Russell Tomlin (in his 1986 paper "Basic word order. Functional principles") argued that there are three cognitively grounded principles which can account for the observed distributions of the frequencies of word order in human languages. The three principles are: Since subjects are generally more likely than objects to be topics and to have animate referents, the topic-first principle
CSX milepost prefixes Also, like the ACL, the SAL mainline ran from Richmond, Virginia to Tampa, Florida. The S Line is today discontinuous and segments of the original line have been abandoned (notable abandoned segments are between Chester, Virginia and Norlina, North Carolina, and between Riceboro and Seals, Georgia. The Seaboard main line from Richmond to Tampa, heart of its 2600-mile system in 1900, had been built by the following companies: CSX milepost prefixes Most CSX railroad lines are given lettered prefixes before milepost numbers. These prefixes are one to three letters long with the first letter usually refer to the former company.
