The order of 'noun and adposition' is an important parameter of word ordering rules in the world's languages. The seven parameters, 'adverb and verb' and others, depend strongly on the 'noun and adposition'. Japanese as well as Korean, Tamil and several other languages seem to have a stable structure of word ordering rules, while Thai and other languages, which have the opposite word ordering rules to Japanese, are also stable in structure. It seems therefore that each language in the world fluctuates between these two structures like the Ising model for finite lattice.
