Summary

The present article is dedicated to a phenomcnon which ever since Ross (1967) has been referred to as Scambling.

Ross proposed that free word order in languages such as Warlpiri, Latin, German, Japanese, Korean or Russian is brought about by a Scrambling rule that was ordered late in the block of transformations and followed the ordinary phrase structure rules.

This article deals with Scrambling as a syntactic phenomenon which involves the base generation of scrambled elements in their surface positions and their LF movement to positions where they receive theta-roles.
