	Word order - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Word order, in linguistic typology, refers to the order in which words appear in sentences across different languages.
		OSV in English is a marked word order because it emphasises the object.
		However, speaking of a language having a given word order is generally understood as a reference to the basic, unmarked, non-emphatic word order for sentences with constituents expressed by full nouns or noun phrases.

	V2 word order - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Verb-second (V2) word order, in syntax, is the effect that in some languages the second constituent of declarative main clauses is always a verb, while this is not necessarily the case in other types of clauses.
		V2 word order is primarily associated with Germanic languages, English being a notable exception.
		It has been argued that older English word order was of the SVO, IP-V2 sort, and it is easy to see how such an order can with little change develop into a simple SVO language as is Modern English today.

	Encyclopedia: Word order in Latin
		Declension by case means that word order can be more variable in Latin than in English and other languages—because a reader or listener can discern the case of a word, it is not necessary to adhere to a strictly defined order.
		Nonetheless, the SOV permutation was the most frequent in Classical Latin, except where—in poetry, for example—the ordering was often changed for the sake of rhythm or emphasis.
		It is possible to construct a poem with a completely regular rhythm of stressed and unstressed syllables through careful arrangement of the right words in the right order, a feat rendered virtually impossible in English.

	Word order is important in Chinese
		Word order refers to the linear ordering between words (and more generally constituents of various sizes) in a sentence.
		But there are languages in the world such as Latin and Russian that do not depend on word order as much but rather rely on cases to convey the idea of who does what to whom.
		In English WH-questions, the object (which is also the question word) typically is at the beginning of the sentence, as in 'What did you eat?'; in yes-no question, the verbal elements may not all be after the subject, as in 'Do you want to eat now?' or 'Are you a student?'.

		We assume that complements are ordered in terms of ``obliqueness'', with the least oblique elements occurring first on the list, and with the most oblique elements occurring last.

	Kathol's analysis of German Word Order
		An example of a word order domain is given in (18).
		In both cases, the elements which can be ordered relative to each order by means of word order constraints are roughly the same (ignoring the treatment of complementizers and possibly the subject).
		This suggests that the word order constraints proposed by Kathol may carry over to an approach which derives `flat' word order domains directly.

	The Sixteen Rules of Esperanto Grammar
		The first of these is the most commonly used (and pedestrian) word order in Esperanto, probably because it is the standard word-order in the languages spoken natively by most Esperantists.
		The second and sixth are not terribly widely used, despite the fact that they are used as standard word orders by several different languages (Latin, German, Japanese in the first case, all the Celtic languages in the second).
		The problem arises when learning the words through the medium of English; it is often difficult to remember whether the word that means "to drown" means "to die of suffocation in liquid" or "to kill by suffocating in liquid".

		Rather, the ordering is built into a language--but is not absolute: All languages seem to have mechanisms for changing the basic word order for emphasis/topicalization/poetic effect/what-have-you.
		Such mechanisms would, I think, be impossible, were the basic word order so strongly encoded as you would have it.
		In this respect, it is comparable to the strategy to look on the skin colour or shape of face of people in order to classify them from their genetic origin (be it race, tribe or big family).
