Abstract
The Kiowa clause may be divided, on the basis of syntactic theory, into three distinct domains. Although Kiowa is a canonical “free word order” language, we demonstrate that use of these domains is strongly constrained by information-structural and, in some cases, discourse-structural and discourse-pragmatic properties. We analyze these factors, discuss different methodological options for such research, and examine the word order properties of a short glossed text.
