The second part of a two-part series, this paper aims to provide a radical alternative to standard generative models of the Hungarian clause. Key theoretical features of the new model include (1) a connectionist (relational network theoretic) commitment to defining word order in terms of association and activation patterns rather than discrete units and symbol manipulation, and (2) a cognitive functionalist commitment to viewing grammar not as a self-contained system but as something inextricable from the broader picture of cognition and communication. The paper also offers an 'organic' perspective on the clause, with the predicate analysed as a nuclear clause, or proto-statement, in turn embraced, elaborated and operated on by diverse components of clausal organization.

The first part of a two-part series, this study outlines an experimental model of Hungarian word order in the framework of Optimality Theory (OT). While representatives of mainstream generative theory have widely and thoroughly studied Hungarian syntax, little effort has been made to challenge successive models of this influential paradigm. Applying a radical version of syntactic OT proposed by Newson (2000, 2004), the present work abandons phrase structure representations to rely solely on a purely optimality theoretic device, a set of violable alignment constraints that govern linear relations between individual words.
