Abstract:

The case studies in this volume offer new insights into word order change. As
is now becoming increasingly clear, word order variation rarely attracts
social values in the way that phonological variants do. Instead, speakers tend
to attach discourse or information-structural functions to any word order
variation they encounter in their input, either in the process of first
language acquisition or in situations of language or dialect contact. In
second language acquisition, fine-tuning information-structural constraints
appears to be the last hurdle that has to be overcome by advanced learners.
The papers in this volume focus on word order phenomena in the history of
English, as well as in related languages like Norwegian and Dutch-based
creoles, and in Romance.
