Lithuanian Word Order and Focus

Summary/Abstract: This paper examines the flexibility of Lithuanian word order and focus as stated by Terje Matthiassen in his A Short Grammar of Lithuanian. The data is collected through interviewing a native Lithuanian language speaker/informant. The informant was presented a number of Lithuanian sentences,pictures, where needed, along with their contexts in order to determine the validity of the word order of those sentences. After each response, be it negative or positive, the word order of the tested sentence is jumbled again and retested to verify all the possible results.
