The Acoustic Analysis of Direct Object Scrambling in Persian

Scrambling moves a constituent from its default position and changes the information structure of the sentence. In this process, information patterns of the sentence are changed to determine the information structure. The results of the information structure analysis of scrambled Persian sentences in this paper show that scrambling is hearer-old and discourse-old. Moreover, the survey of intonation pattern in scrambled constituents shows that in nonspecific noun phrases, L+H* intonation may exist, while in specific noun phrases, the kind of focus depends on context.
