Overview"This volume is a collection of 18 papers on the problem of word-order variation in discourse. It demonstrates that word-order discourse is not random, but rather is governed by principles which can be subjected to scientific investigation and are common to all languages. These papers discuss word-order variation in a diverse collection of languages and from a number of perspectives, including experimental and quantitative text-based studies. Several papers address the problem of deciding which order is ""basic"" among the alternatives. The volume should be of interest to typologists, other linguists and those interested in discourse syntax." Full Product DetailsAuthor: Pamela A.
