Title: A Comparative Analysis of Word Order Between English and Russian
Abstract: Both English and Russian belong to the Indo-European language family.English belongs to the western Germanic branch in Germanic family,and Russian belongs to the eastern Slavic branch in Slavic language family.They both belong to letter writings,so they are same or similar in word forms,tones and grammatical structures.English has eliminated the inflectional changes which restrained its development during its evolution,and changes from a comprehensive language to and analytical one.Thus a comprehensive and analytical language is formed.The inflection of words devreases.The expressions of morphological meanings depend more and more upon the grammatical functions of word order and prepositions.Russian is rich in morphological changes.The functions of the sentence sonstituents are mainly expressed by word forms.Word order only works as a supplement.In other words,Russian word order is comparatively free.
