Russian Word Order: A Comparative Study

Thompson, Irene

Slavic and East European Journal, 21, 1, 88-104, Spr 77

Russian word order is varied to suit the communicative requirements of the speaker. The present study tests the hypothesis that American students of Russian use word order differently from native speakers, using the same order for different communicative tasks. Study results support the hypothesis. (CHK)
