I found the word order really interesting in this chapter.As book says many languages use the sequential order of noun phrases to mark differences in information structure.In English once the structure of the word order has changed the semantics of the sentence has also changed and it is even exactly the same way with my language too. It is really amazing that in Russian however we scramble the word order still the semantics remains the same.
I wonder if these things is possible even in order language too or just it is possible in Russian!
