obj:periph: preposed object

The default word order in Cantonese is SVO, that is, the subject normally precedes and the object follows the verb. Other word orders, like OSV, are communicatively marked. We use the obj:periph subtype of the obj relation for objects that precede their verb.

“You just recorded this song.”
