1. I hear that Filipino word orders are usually Predicates+Subjects. But are there also Subjects/Topics+Predicates word orders in the language?
2. Are there in Filipino
Topicalizations like: John, she telephoned/visited.
Left dislocations like: John, she TELEPHONED him, not visited him.
when the subjects are presuppositions? The above "John"s are so-called semantic/psychological subjects and presuppositions. The question 1. includes such subjects.
3. Chinese has, e.g.:
Shin lai...
Does Filipino have the ordinary SV(O/C) constructions?
