Word Order and Scrambling introduces readers to recent research into the linguistic phenomenon called scrambling and is a valuable contribution to the fields of theoretical linguistics, psycholinguistics, and applied linguistics.

• Introduces readers to recent research into the linguistic phenomenon called scrambling, or free word order.
• Explores major issues including factors responsible for word order variations, how scrambled constructions are processed, and whether variations are available in early child language development and in second language acquisition.
• Discusses a number of typologically diverse languages including Hindi, Japanese, and Navajo.
• Provides enlightening information on different aspects of word order variation and the consequences for our understanding of the nature of human language.
