"abstract": "Word order flexibility is one of the distinctive features of SOV languages. In this work we investigate whether the order and relative distance of preverbal dependents in Hindi, an SOV language, is affected by factors motivated by efficiency considerations during language comprehension and production. We investigate the influence of Head-Dependent Mutual Information (HDMI), similarity-based interference, accessibility and case-marking. Results show that preverbal dependents remain close to the verbal head when the HDMI between the verb and its dependent is high. This demonstrates the influence of locality constraints on dependency distance and word order in an SOV language. Additionally, dependency distance were found to be longer when the dependent was animate, when it was case-marked and when it was semantically similar to other preverbal dependents. Together the results highlight the cross-linguistic generalizability of these factors and provide evidence for a functionally motivated account of word order in SOV languages such as Hindi.",

One area where efficiency pressures appear to have a large effect is in word order: for example, across languages, the distribution of word orders can be well predicted using the principle of dependency length minimization, the idea that words in syntactic dependencies are under a pressure to be close to each other (Liu et al., 2017; Temperley and Gildea, *Equal contribution by RF and SH. 2018). Dependency length minimization is motivated by efficiency because it results in lower working memory requirements for language production and comprehension.",

"text": "Accessibility A persistent generalization in the typological literature is that there is a bias for words which are more accessible to go earlier in a sentence. Words are more accessible when they are animate, definite, imageability, and/or salient in discourse (Ariel, 1990; Jaeger and Tily, 2011) . The preference for more accessible words to go earlier in sentences appears to be motivated by ease of language production (Ferreira and Dell, 2000; Kurumada and Jaeger, 2015) , under the theory that language producers will tend to produce the words which are most accessible as quickly as possible. Evidence for production ease comes from, amongst others, the observation that lemma selection during grammatical encoding is influenced by accessibility of the lemma (e.g., Bock and Warren, 1985; Bock et al., 1992; Prat-Sala and Branigan, 2000; Branigan et al., 2008) .",

"text": "Semantic similarity A great deal of work in psycholinguistics has focused on the effect of similarity-based interference on processing: the idea that difficulty results when a comprehender must retrieve a target item from working memory, but there is another distractor item in working memory which interferes with the retrieval of the target item (J\u00e4ger et al., 2017) . From a production perspective, presence of similar phrases in an utterance can lead to competition between the phrases and thereby difficulty in planning. Successful articulation of a phrase therefore requires inhibition of one of the phrases, thereby resulting in a delayed articulation of the inhibited phrase. The magnitude of this interference increases as the target and the distractor become more similar (Gordon et al., 2006; Gennari et al., 2012) . For comprehension, this effect has been modeled within frameworks based on cue-based retrieval such as ACT-R (Lewis and Vasishth, 2005) .",

We then discuss how they affect the wordorder. Figure 1 shows the distribution of dependency distance (the number of words from the head to the dependent) for various arguments in a log-log plot. We find that verbal adjuncts are more frequent than all the arguments at all distances. Among the arguments, subjects are the most frequent at almost all distances followed by direct objects and then indirect objects. With increasing distances, the frequencies of all dependencies decrease but the decay is strikingly slower in subjects and adjuncts compared to the objects. Direct objects decrease steadily following a power law while the others show a nonlinear trend until large distances (> 12).",

"text": "The figure unexpectedly shows that the HDMI for adjuncts and indirect object tends to increase starting around dependency distance 7. One possible reason for this increase is estimation error in the pmi values: given small amounts of data from a relatively large number of classes, pmi is likely to be overestimated , and the frequency of these dependents is less at higher dependency distance. Therefore, the HDMI -dependency distance relation for these dependents seems to be more stable at shorter dependency distance. Another explanation for the apparent HDMI increase at large dependency distances could have to do with certain discourse-related dependencies between verbs and adjuncts, where the adjunct appears preferentially at the beginning of a clause or sentence (Butt and King, 1996) . Such discourse dependencies might have high HDMI while also having large dependency distance due do the constraint of appearing early. Figure 2b shows a plot for mean semantic similarity at various dependency distance. We find that for all the arguments, an increase in semantic similarity leads to increase in dependency distance. Figure 2c shows a plot for proportion of animate arguments at various dependency distance. The most clear trend is for the subjects -the proportion of +Human subjects tend to increase with increase in dependency distance. This positive trend is also seen for the other dependents, but for short distances.",

Previous work investigating dependency distance has demonstrated that SOV languages allow for longer dependency distance between the verb and its prior dependents (Futrell et al., 2020c; Yadav et al., 2020; Konieczny, 2000) . The current work makes an important contribution by highlighting that compared to preverbal adjuncts, the core arguments (subject, indirect object and direct object) tend to be closer to the verb in an SOV language like Hindi. Additionally, when the HDMI between the preverbal dependent and the verb is high, they tend to be close to each other. The HDMI difference between a pair of dependencies also correctly predicts their order. This provides compelling evidence that, all else being equal, the preverbal dependents in an SOV language such as Hindi are under information-theoretic locality constraints. Indeed, recent behavioral studies (e.g., Apurva and Husain, 2020) suggest that clause final verb prediction in Hindi suffers with increased distance between prior arguments and the upcoming verb.",
