| | Encyclopedia: Word order in Latin |
 | | Latin is an example of what's sometimes called a scrambling language, where you can work out the meaning of a sentence no matter what order the words come in. | | | Declension by case means that word order can be more variable in Latin than in English and other languages—because a reader or listener can discern the case of a word, it is not necessary to adhere to a strictly defined order. | | | Nonetheless, the SOV permutation was the most frequent in Classical Latin, except where—in poetry, for example—the ordering was often changed for the sake of rhythm or emphasis. |

| | Word order is important in Chinese |
| | But there are languages in the world such as Latin and Russian that do not depend on word order as much but rather rely on cases to convey the idea of who does what to whom. | | | The interesting thing is that the difference in meaning between the two sentences, i.e., definiteness versus indefiniteness of the noun phrases (some person/people versus the person/people) is not expressed by having different words (definite and indefinite articles in English) but by changing the ordering between words. | | | Word order refers to the linear ordering between words (and more generally constituents of various sizes) in a sentence. |

| | Dr. Syntax The Function of Word Order and Parallel Structure |
| | In each, the order is different, but each means "the boy loves the girl," because Latin is an inflected language and doesn't depend on word order to convey meaning. | | | You can easily see that each member of a group means differently, but the only difference in each case is a different word order. | | | That is, one of the important ways we secure meaning in English is by putting words in a certain order. |

| | Vulgar Latin - definition of Vulgar Latin in Encyclopedia |
| | As a result of the untenability of the noun case system after these phonetic changes, vulgar Latin moved from being a synthetic language to an analytic language where word order is a necessary element of syntax. | | | In Latin, names of trees were usually feminine gender, but many were declined in the masculine or neuter second declension paradigm. | | | Vulgar Latin (in Latin, sermo vulgaris) is a blanket term covering the vernacular dialects of the Latin language spoken mostly in the western provinces of the Roman Empire until those dialects, diverging still further, evolved into the early Romance languages — a distinction usually assigned to about the ninth century. |

| | Because Latin words are quite (though not completely) self-contained, a sentence can be made from scattered elements. | | | That languages have different levels of grammatical complexness can be shown to be false by realizing the fact that changes to words are not the only kind of grammar. | | | In teaching grammars it is often necessary to simplify in order to achieve success, as neither the prescriptive nor the descriptive approaches are logical or easy to understand in all details. |

| | Introduction I: Latin and English |
| | Latin is an example of what's sometimes called a scrambling language, where you can work out the meaning of a sentence no matter what order the words come in. | | | The principal difference between Latin and English is Latin is a heavily inflected language: it uses word-endings to do a lot of the business that in English is transacted by rigid word order. | | | This flexibility of word order is one of the great resources of Latin expressiveness, especially in poetry, that simply isn't available in English. |

| | Beginning Latin... |
| | Latin with its myriad endings, had no problems identifying the function of words in sentences, and used what may seem to us a "free word order". | | | But in Latin, the word order is basically at the service of the author and his ideas, it can be a stylistic and an artistic consideration. | | | In order to make endingless sentences intelligible again, English substituted a structured word order, in which the first thing mentioned was to be taken as the subject, the second a the verb, and the third a the object. |

| | French language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The French words which have developed from Latin are usually less recognisable than Italian words of Latin origin because as French developed into a separate language from Vulgar Latin, the unstressed final syllable of many words was dropped or elided into the following word. | | | French word order is Subject Verb Object, except when the object is a pronoun, in which case the word order is Subject Object Verb. | | | The majority of French words derive from vernacular or "vulgar" Latin or were constructed from Latin or Greek roots. |

| | Latin Vulgate |
| | These students are fighting against the Latin word order, when instead the Latin word order should be helping them in their reading. | | | Instead of truly reading the Latin as it was meant to be read, they treat the Latin like a jigsaw puzzle, shuffling the pieces around, and forcing the pieces to fit (and giving up when that doesn't work). | | | For help with the Latin, look at the way the text is displayed on the screen when you select different styles: direct speech in bold, verbs in bold, or verbs underlined with direct speech in bold. |

| | Lexical Analysis of the Latin |
| | Those who would pervert the truth of the Bible in order to make their new world order of evil would discount the need or validity of researching the definitions of the Latin words commonly translated, at least in Biblical texts, as adultery. | | | In the Old Latin text A, this word was translated with the Latin word nothus, which according to the Lewis and Short Latin Dictionary means: "of mixed breed, mongrel." So it is clear what text 'A' was conveying with its translation. | | | And while the Latin Vulgate was certainly corrupted by the Jew-influenced Jerome, the Old Latin texts produced before the time of Jerome were decent translations and were used by early, Latin-speaking Christians. |

| | It is in other words both a light which is new and a light which is directed towards the eyes of our mind; it is, in the Latin word order, a “new towards-our-mind’s-eyes light”. | | | The change in word order destroys the poetry of course, and the translation is stylistically awful, but the idea is to enable you to work through the Preface and understand the meaning of each word in it. | | | I have put in square brackets those words which we have to use in English to make the meaning clear, but which are not needed in Latin. |

| | Esperanto: A Language for the Global Village by Sylvan Zaft: Chapter 16 |
| | Many languages use some other word order to indicate which word is the subject and which word is the object. | | | Then there is an entirely different kind of language which does not use word order to indicate the subject and the object. | | | In English, we use word order to tell who did the chasing (the subject of the sentence) and who or what was chased (the direct object of the sentence.) We give the subject, the one doing the chasing, first; the verb, second; and the object, the one that was chased, third. |

| | French Language Institute-Why Study French? |
| | Much of what Latin communicated by inflectional modification of words was now communicated by separate words or phrases, and especially by word order (which in Latin had been extremely flexible because logical relations between words could be detected from word endings alone, regardless of word order). | | | The earliest written documents in a distinctly "French" ("Francien", from "Frankish") language are the so-called "Oaths of Strasbourg", sworn by two of Charlemagnes grandsons in 842 AD This "French" language was in fact one of a number of different languages descended from Latin that were spoken in various parts of post-Roman Gaul. | | | The source of modern French (and of the other Romance languages) was a spoken, popular version of the Latin tongue that was spread abroad by conquering Roman legions namely, in the case of French, to so-called "Transalpine Gaul" by the armies of Julius Caesar during the century that preceded the birth of Christ. |

| | Analyzing English Grammar (pt.II) |
| | In Latin, for instance, Case was crucial in determiner whether or not a Pronoun was a subject or an object--this was owing to the fact that Latin was somewhat of a free word order language where words could have a relatively mixed arrangement. | | | Case no longer indicates word order for English--English has secured for some time now an SVO (Subject-Verb-Object) order (parting from an earlier Germanic mix of SOV and SVO), so that functional case is no longer a crucial grammatical marker of word order. | | | In this case, it is the Determiner (not even the Noun) that determiners whether or not the agreeing verb is singular or plural. |

| | Etymologically Speaking... |
| | Coming to English via the French word meaning the same, this word is thought to derive ultimately from the Latin word lamella, a "thin plate," referring to the long, flat shape of the omlette, and to represent a gradual corruption of allumelle first to allumelette, then to alomelette (Le cuisiner francois of 1651 has aumelette). | | | From the Latin word, Liber -- with a long I -- meaning, "to peel," which would refer to the inner bark of a tree. | | | French porcelaine, from Old French pourcelaine, from Italian porcellana "of a sow," hence cowry shell, hence porcelain (from the resemblance of the cowry shell to the vulva of a sow), from porcella, diminutive of porca, sow, from Latin, feminine of porcus, swine. |

| | Order (from Latin ordo "row, rank, series, arrangement", Old French ordre from the Latin accusative, ordinem, attested in English from the 1220s). | | | In information processing, order is a measure of the number of objects or sub-systems in a system as seen by an observer. | | | The word conveys a notion of "a system of parts subject to certain uniform, established ranks or proportions", an idea very central to scholastic thought, and it was used in a wide range of contexts, from architecture to angels. |
