Definition

the variant of a deranking strategy in which the deranked clauses follow the clause that is expressed like a simple main clause. Example: Big Nambas a-əln talei ka-vruh ka-vmi'i arna pitha 'So they left their knives and ran away and climbed over the hill...' is an instance of posterior deranking: the prefix ka- on ka-vruh 'run away' and ka-vmi'i 'go over' indicates that the posterior predicates are deranked. (Section 15.2.3)
