Based on the empirical evidence provided above, the ranking of constraints in
the Hungarian-English data can be computed as follows:
SOLIDARITY >> POWER [Example 18]
SOLIDARITY >> FACE [Example 19]
FAITH >> SOLIDARITY [Example 20]
PERSPECTIVE >> SOLIDARITY [Example 21]
Adopting an algorithmic representation of the rankings, it can be concluded
that Faith and Perspective are ranked above Solidarity, while Solidarity ranks
above Power. As no evidence has been found for a conflict in the interaction of
Faith, and Perspective, or in that of Face and Power, they are ranked equally.
Hence, the community ranking of constraints in the Hungarian-English data
can be set up as follows:
{FAITH, PERSPECTIVE} >> {SOLIDARITY} >> {FACE, POWER}
