Abstract

The present paper discusses certain word order variations attested in Tundra Nenets transitive content questions. Traditionally, Tundra Nenets is said to be a typical SOV language, which does not have a special position for its interrogative phrases but allows them to remain in the same position within the clause in which a non-question word fulfilling the same grammatical function is located. Consequently, in transitive content interrogatives the SOV order is assumed. According to the data attested in a corpus, word order variants other than SOV can also surface in these clauses. The attested word order variations raise the following questions answered in the present study: Which relative order of S and O can be regarded as being the canonical order of transitive content questions? What is the grammatical reason of the attested non-canonical word order variations?
