Abstract

In this paper I examine some word order alternations in Russian and compare them to their Romance (mainly Italian) counterparts. I argue that in a language like Russian, which, as I demonstrate, does not have verb movement, SVO-OVS alternation can be derived in several steps, via movement of the subject out of its thematic position followed by remnant VP preposing.
