Abstract
The article identifies three basic stages in the reflection on word order in Eighteenth-century Russia, personified by Mikhail Lomonosov (1711-1765 ), Anton Barsov (1730-1791) and Nikolai Karamzin (1766 -1826). It shows that word order gradually evolves from being a rhetorical consideration to a grammatical one, with Barsov pointing out the use of word order in the marking of oral emphasis and Karamzin rejecting the notion of inversion and asserting that any reordering of words entails change in the meaning.
