In syntactic change, it remains an open issue whether word orders are more conservative or innovative in subordinate clauses compared with main clauses.

Our results reveal similar rates of change across clause types, with no evidence for any inherent conservatism of subordinate or main clauses. Our models also support evolutionary biases towards SV, VO, an
