This seemed to help understand the mechanisms that underlie language structures. In particular, the paradigm has primarily been applied to study word order. Goldin-Meadow et al. (2008), for instance, used it to conclude that Subject (S) - Object (O) - Verb (V) is the basic order in unconventional communication
