Abstract
The particular position of the head in a phrase correlates with a wide range of syntactic properties. Mutually exclusive subsets of these properties characterize head-final (‘OV’), head-initial (‘VO’) or ‘freely positioning’ (‘third type’) languages. The linearization of the head is a function of a category-specific directionality value. The interaction of the parametric directionality property of lexical heads with the cross-linguistically invariant directionality property of phrases (right-branching) accounts for major syntactic differences between OV-, VO-, and T3 languages. Analogous effects are located in properties of morphological structuring.
