Studies on constituent ordering have pointed out the tendency to post-pose heavy
constituents. However, head-nal languages seem to display the mirror-image tendency. In
this paper, we present corpus data on the relative order between the direct object (DO) and
the indirect object (IO) in Persian, an SOV language. Our study shows a similar effect in
Persian; however, relative length plays a secondary role, since the position of the DO mainly
depends on its degree of determination.
