Word order experimental texts
Listed in figshare
<p dir="ltr">Russian is known for its flexible word order, with SVO as the canonical order for transitive sentences.
Description
Both word order alternations and stress shifts are primarily driven by information structure. While theoretical literature on this topic is extensive, experimental evidence — especially on the interaction of word order and prosody — is scarce.
We present two experiments inspired by Novozhilov & Slioussar (2025). Experiment 1 tested production: participants completed texts by arranging words in preferred order and then read them aloud. Experiment 2 tested comprehension: participants rated audio recordings from Experiment 1 in short contexts.

We found that SOV order is not contingent on emphatic or contrastive focus and, in our data, is restricted to dialogues. With focused subjects, the preference for neutral sentence-final stress overrides the preference for canonical word order.</p>
