@@ Harmonic word order refers to consistent head-initial or head-final order in one language (Biberauer et al., 2007, Dryer, 1992, Hawkins, 1983). However, disharmonic constructions do exists in many languages. In order to explore the syntactic properties of such disharmonic phenomena, people have argued for a Final-Over-Final Constraint (FOFC) that a head-final phrase cannot immediately dominate a head-initial phrase (Biberauer et al., 2007, Holmberg, 2000). FOFC doesn’t expect a final complementizer in VO languages such as Chinese (1), which seems to be disharmonic. In this paper, I argue that such disharmonic constructions are FOFC free. In the case of Chinese final C-elements in the light of Sybesma & Hsieh (2008), Li (2006), Cheng (2000), they form head-initial CP as well.
