Length vs. Order: Word length and clause length from the perspective of word order

Pages 266-275 | Published online: 21 Jul 2008
 

Abstract

The present paper deals with two random variables: length of words and order of words (linear sequence, linear arrangement) in clauses of a text. The question to be answered is: What can a quantitative case study on Czech data add to our present knowledge of the relationship between the length of words and their placement in the clause?
