MARCO:Also from my own experience I fail to understand why anyone would think
that the Chinese language doesn't distinguish between subjects and objects.
(as claimed in ZMM) Chinese distinguishes subjects and objects by word
order, ie "I bite dog" is different from "dog bite I »
(Diana, 9 dec. 2000 to MF)
ERIN: All grammars distinguish between subject and object but I was curious
about the ones where they weren't separated by a verb. The example you are
giving is a Object-verb- subject but I was asking something about like a
Korean language Subject-object-verb. There is a divide in your example but
there isn't in mine. And of course the Mayan one that blows my mind
Verb-object-subject.
