From Proto-Hungarian SOV to Old Hungarian Top Foc V X*
Abstract: This paper argues that Hungarian underwent a word order change from SOV to Top Foc V X * prior to its documented history beginning in 1192. Proto-Hungarian SOV is reconstructed primarily on the basis of shared constructions of archaic Old Hungarian, and Khanty and Mansi, the sister languag...
