Abstract

Abstract Finnish word order is relatively free, making room for all mathematically possible word orders in many constructions. Because there is no evidence in this language for radical nonconfigurationality, explanations must be sought from syntax. It is argued in this article that morphosyntax and word order represent syntactic structure at the PF-interface. Rich morphosyntax frees word order, poor morphosyntax freezes it. The hypothesis is formalized within the context of a parsing-oriented theory of the human language faculty (UG) combining left-to-right minimalism with the dynamic syntax approach. The analysis was implemented as an algorithm and successfully tested with a corpus of 119,800 unique Finnish word orders.
芬兰语语序:理解重要吗?
摘要芬兰语语序相对自由,在许多结构中为所有数学上可能的语序留出了空间。因为在这种语言中没有证据表明激进的非对称性,所以必须从语法中寻求解释。本文认为形态句法和语序是PF界面句法结构的表征。丰富的形态语法解放了语序,而糟糕的形态语法冻结了语序。这一假设是在人类语言学院(UG)面向解析的理论背景下形式化的,该理论将从左到右的极简主义与动态语法方法相结合。该分析被实现为一种算法,并在119800个独特芬兰语词序的语料库中成功测试。
