Presenting an interpretation of the early history of Chinese, this title argues that Old Chinese was typologically a 'mixed' language. It shows that, though its dominant word order was subject-verb-object, this coexisted with subject-object-verb. It also describes the typological changes that have taken place since the Han period.
