The enabling objectives of this term paper are:
to read and analyse the theory available on the information structure and word order in the English language;
to investigate and analyse the data on information structure and word order in English;
to compare word order in different sentence types;
to prepare a set of exercises for training the use of correct word order;
to draw relevant conclusions.
