Abstract

This paper presents word order variables in Patzun Kaqchikel. I investigate how word order variables of (in)definiteness and animacy interact with SVO, VOS, and VSO word order in statements and questions in Patzun Kaqchikel spoken in the southern Guatemala. I also examine my data in comparison with the previous analysis of word orders in (Patzicia) Kaqchikel by Broadwell (2000).
