   What is word order in linguistics?

   • Some languages use relatively fixed word order, often relying on the order of constituents to convey grammatical information. Other languages—often those that convey grammatical information through inflection —allow more flexible word order, which can be used to encode pragmatic information, such as topicalisation or focus.

   What is the most common word order in a language?

   • The most common basic word order is Subject-Object-Verb (41% of languages, according to Dryer 2013); for example, Japanese and Korean are both SOV languages, as is Haida.

   Is word order grammatical?

   • Fixed vs. flexible word order The relevance of word order for grammaticality is particularly strong for a language like English, which has relatively fixed word order. There isn’t much flexibility in English to change the order of words in a sentence, without either changing the meaning or making the sentence ungrammatical.

   What is word order typology?

   • In linguistics, word order (also known as linear order) is the order of the syntactic constituents of a language. Word order typology studies it from a cross-linguistic perspective, and examines how languages employ different orders. Correlations between orders found in different syntactic sub-domains are also of interest.
