Abstract
Languages often demonstrate word order inconsistencies, and such inconsistencies ought to make languages harder to acquire. We present an integrative approach exploring the relationship between learnability and word order, incorporating syntactic theory, corpus analyses and computational modelling. We focus on comparisons between English and German, and conclude that inconsistencies may be preserved in the language due to the interaction between several syntactic structures.
