Datapoint Papiá Kristang/Order of frequency adverb, verb, and object
Baxter (1988) notes that most frequency adverbs can occur in pre-subject, pre-predicate and post predicate positions. This was tested with native speakers in Malacca, October 26, 2009. This order is predominant and considered 'normal'. However, post predicate order is also possible, yet is less frequent.
