In another question we established that Japanese is an agglutinating language (more here), if only in its verb system.
Since it is not traditional in Japanese grammar or teaching to go into this aspect of the language most of the information must be in scholarly linguistics publications somewhere.
My question is what are the "slots" used in the Japanese verb? This means in which specific rigid order can the various types of suffixes be built up?
If the answer for Japanese is complex a pointer to a website or publication is also a good answer.
(This article on another language includes a small example comparing to Japanese for those who are not used to looking at Japanese this way. It analyses the Japanese word "tabesaserareta")
