Datapoint Bahamian Creole/Internal order of tense, aspect, and mood markers

Even though there are preverbal markers for every category (i.e. tense, mood, and aspect) in Bahamian Creole English, three-part combinations of adjacent markers do not appear to be used. However, in my data, the tense marker did always precedes aspect markers and modals, and modals precede, e.g., aspectual done (as in Example 100); thus, a T-M-A order appears most plausible. McPhee (2003: 34) further states that the aspect marker is always "nearest to the verb" and that "modals follow did, producing TM ordering" (2003: 33).
