The Effect of Definiteness, Animacy, and Length on Word Order from a Cross-verb Perspective

Résumé

The present study, investigates the effect of several cognitive-functional factors, including definiteness of the O (definite, indefinite, generic), semantic role and animacy of the X (animate, inanimate), and their relative length (number of words for Kurmanji and Sorani, number of characters for Mandarin), on word order, mainly focusing on the options that involve both pre and postverbal domains (XVO for Mandarin and OVX for Kurdish). We adopt a quantitative approach based on the data for Kurdish (including the Pewan Corpus for Kurmanji (Esmaili et al. 2013) and the AsoSoft Corpus for Sorani (Veisi et al. 2020), and the data from Chinese (The Lancaster Corpus of Mandarin Chinese (McEnery & Xiao 2004)).
