Abstract:
			
Word Order and Scrambling introduces readers to recent research into
the linguistic phenomenon called scrambling and is a valuable
contribution to the fields of theoretical linguistics,
psycholinguistics, and applied linguistics.

Introduces readers to recent research into the linguistic phenomenon
called scrambling, or free word order. Explores major issues
including factors responsible for word order variations, how scrambled
constructions are processed, and whether variations are available in
early child language development and in second language acquisition.
Discusses a number of typologically diverse languages including Hindi,
Japanese, and Navajo. Provides enlightening information on different
aspects of word order variation and the consequences for our
understanding of the nature of human language.
