Chart 8. — P2 Clause Types 



In spite of some freedom of order in the arrangement of slots within 

 the clause there are definite restrictions on their distribution. Con- 

 sidering the slots in the order that they are introduced in the charts 

 following the P slot, the following observations can be made. 



The A slot always follows the P slot, usually contiguously. There 

 are a few occurrences, though, of a D slot intervening between the 

 P and A slots (PDA, DPDA and CSPDA). 



The S and O slots may each occur either preceding or following 

 the P slot. The S slot and, to a lesser extent, the O slot occiu- with 

 greater frequency preceding than following the P slot. These slots are 

 generally contiguous to the P slot or separated from it by one another, 

 but occasionally a D, T, or M slot may intervene as in the sequences 

 SDP, OTDP, DSMP, etc. 



Most commonly the D slot occurs immediately preceding the P 

 slot or separated from it by an S or O slot, or less frequently by a 

 T or M slot. When not occm'ring in this position it immediately 

 follows the P slot, or there may be two D slots in the clause, as in the 

 sequences DSDP, DSPD and MDPD. 



The distribution of the T and M slots is comparable to that of 

 the D slot. They generally precede, but sometimes immediately 

 follow, the P slot. When preceding the P slot they may be separated 

 from it by an S, O, D, T or M slot.
