Define:FSEQ

FSEQ reflects the typologically observed fact that certain functional predicates (predicates used by syntax) universally appear in a certain hierarchical order. Every lexical (=non-functional) predicate in a unit of a CAR (Concepts Associations Representation) unit corresponding to a sentential meaning is associated with at least one functional predicate (they are all a part of the event structure and thus associated to the functional predicates that represent it, and also all predicates must belong to either old or new information). This secures that every predicate involving at least one functional predicate is ordered through the FSEQ.
