러시아어 대명사 목적어와 타동사 어순에 관한 고찰

Abstract

Russian is known as a SVO language. However, a general word order of a transitive verb and its pronominal object is not VO, but OV. This pronominal object has been syntactically regarded as Low Topic or Middle-Field Topic, and the SOV word order is introduced in Russian language textbooks. Russian native speakers, nevertheless, use SVO word order with the pronominal object. Thus this study explores why SVO word order is possible when a pronoun is an object. Even though the pronoun object is located at the end of the sentence, examples of SVO word order can be found to be context-neutral. By digitizing the voice information, we were able to find data with accurate accent patterns. In other words, it can be analyzed that SVO word order with a pronoun object is context-neutral when the pronoun loses its stress and becomes a clitic.
