Is Latin (discourse) configurational? Information structure, word order, and the potential for structural ambiguity.

The project investigates whether Latin can be considered a (discourse) configurational language, and by this token whether it is possible for a linear string of Latin words to be structurally ambiguous. To this end, a corpus-based experiment is carried out, which tests whether information structure is a statistically better predictor for linear order or for (structural) syntactic position.
