An alternative solution is considering the placement of the verb as a parameter. From that single parameter we have shown that it is possible to infer head-final placement within verb arguments in SOV, head-first placement within verb arguments in SVO, head-first placement within verb arguments of VSO/VOS<cite> (Ferrer-i-Cancho, 2015)</cite> and also head first for the placement of inflected auxiliaries in SOV and head-final for their placement in VSO (Ferrer-i-Cancho, 2008 ). However, the predictive power of the position of the verb does not imply that this is a fundamental parameter in a universal grammar sense: verb position might be determined by evolutionary time (e.g., verb-last being more likely in early stages of evolution) or sentence length (e.g., SVO being more likely in languages where speakers produce more elaborate sentences or simply longer sentences) as explained by Ferrer-i-Cancho (2014) .
