obj:periph: preposed object
The default word order in Chinese is SVO, that is, the subject normally precedes and the object
follows the verb. Other word orders, like OSV, are communicatively marked (Tremblay, 2005).
We use the obj:periph subtype of the obj relation for objects that precede their verb.
