Abstract
This paper presents a survey of syntactic contexts that favor a prenominal/postnominal placement of adjective attributes in Old Russian (focusing on possessives). The placement can be seen as being conditioned by adjacent words or by constructions in which a noun phrase participates (including prepositional phrases). Yet such analysis by no means excludes more traditional motivation in terms of information structure, but rather calls for further refinement of this motivation.
