Abstract Clausal and Noun Phrase word order is examined through a representative selection of data from a range of Malayo-Polynesian languages of Southeast Asia and through series of maps. It becomes clear that most patterns of distribution involve areal distributions, with languages from the western part of the range showing the same ...

2017Previous work has shown that the relation between acceptability ratings and frequencies in speech production is exponential. The present study examines the relation between preference ratings and frequencies of choice with a maximally controlled design, using the same material with two experimental procedures, namely a split-100 rating and a forced ...

Robert Penn Warren has whimsically defined a poem as a group of lines that are printed evenly along the left-hand margin of a page. After that, he says, you’re on your own. Robert Frost said, “Poetry is the kind of things poets write.” Both are telling us that poetry is so varied in its potential that no definition, not even by a poet, is likely to be ...

AbstractIn many languages, word order plays a role parallel to morphological features, such as case marking and verbal agreement, in that it encodes basic relationships between syntactic elements, e.g., a verb and its core argument(s), or a head noun and its dependent(s).

Abstract In English, much of the meaning of a sentence is conveyed through the order of its words. We expect the sequence subject–verb–object as a matter of course: ‘dog bites man’ means something very different from ‘man bites dog’. If you are a native speaker, choosing a word order is not usually regarded as a difficult part of writing.

Abstract This chapter discusses word order in Uralic languages, with the main focus on sentential constituent order. A brief assessment of the facts is also made regarding recent views on Greenbergian cross-constituent ordering generalizations. While constituent-internal order shows a great deal of uniformity across the family, variation

Abstract Chapter 23 deals with word order (also called constituent order). The actual order of constituents in Latin is determined by a large number of factors, among which the syntactic factor is only a minor one. These various factors are discussed. Some constituents at the clause level are limited in their position, others are mobile,

Abstract In a main clause (except in the case of a question or command) the finite verb forms the second element in the sentence. It may, as usually in English, follow the subject, e.g. der Mann reitet auf dem Pferd the man is riding the horse; but it may also follow another element, in which case the subject comes after the finite verb,
