The default constituent order is (time-place)-verb-subject-pronominal oblique object-direct object-(place-time). Any constituent may be topicalized or focalized by being placed in front of the verb. The syntactic difference between topicalization and focalization is that a topicalized noun phrase is the absolute first constituent of a clause while focalized noun phrases have to follow pre-verbal adjuncts such as negation. Adverbs such as ''la'' (also) and ''vid'' (only) also have some tendency to front the nouns they precede/modify. | The default constituent order is (time-place)-verb-subject-pronominal oblique object-direct object-(place-time).
