The view of word order in the ancient grammatical tradition
Abstract
The article deals with different aspects of handling the theme of the word order in Greek and Latin languages by ancient authors (Dionysius of Halicarnassus, Quintilian, Demetrius, Priscian). Among other approaches to this problem the author discovers the pragmatic aspect of word order, which is probably the first attempt in European linguistics of getting close to the Functional Sentence Perspective.
