(2) What is the context-neutral order of O and non-finite V in transitive clauses with a periphrastic tense in neutral contexts if applicable?

Please make sure the sentence contains a finite and a non-finite verb. The finite verb can be a tense auxiliary, a modal verb, or else.

Alternatives to be checked: Vfin-Vnonfin-O / Vnonfin-Vfin-O / O-Vfin-Vnonfin / O-Vnonfin-Vfin / Vfin-O-Vnonfin / Vnonfin-O-Vfin

a) Indefinite O

Prompt: What has happened?

My father has bought a new car. / My father wants to buy a new car. (Vfin-Vnonfin-O)

*My father bought has a new car. / *My father to buy wants a new car. (Vnonfin-Vfin-O)

*My father a new car has bought. / *My father a new car wants to buy. (O-Vfin-Vnonfin)

*My father a new car bought has. / *My father a new car to buy wants. (O-Vnonfin-Vfin)

*My father has a new car bought. / *My father wants a new car to buy. (Vfin-O-Vnonfin)

*My father bought a new car has. / *My father to buy a new car wants. (Vnonfin-O-Vfin)

Explanation: Please try to re-use the lexical material of (1) if possible, so that we get minimal pairs. Also use the same type of context prompt as in (1) for both (2a) and (2b) but changing the tense as necessary. Please use the same periphrastic tense in (2a) and (2b). Please exclude contrastive focus or topic constructions as well as pronominal arguments.

Background: Checking for possible effects of finite second constructions in the language, as in S-Aux-O-V / S-V-O languages of Western Africa or Germanic languages.
