Fixed and Free Position of the Words in the Word Order of Subordinate Clause Elements

Summary/Abstract: The topic of this article revolves around the word order of subordinate clauses, particularly from the perspective of whether their position in relation to the superordinate clause element in the phrase is fixed. In cases where the superordinate clause element is moved, it is necessary to determine whether the subordinate clause element must also be moved alongside it, or whether it can remain in a free position, allowing for the word order to be rearranged freely within the sentence, with both syntagmatic components behaving independently. Based on this, subordinate clause elements can be categorized into two groups: those that maintain a fixed position in the word order arrangement of the phrase, which applies to postpositive non-agreeing and agreeing attributes, and those that allow for a free arrangement in the word order, typically found in phrases where the superordinate verb is followed by the object of action or by an adverbial determination. This distinction in word order also facilitates the differentiation between a non-agreeing postpositive attribute and an adverbial determination.
