 '''Scrambling''' is a cover term for a specific kind of [[word order]] variation.
 In the study of [[Germanic]] [[SOV]]-languages the term is used to refer to word order variation of argument [[NP]]s with respect to each other and/or with respect to [[adverbial phrase]]s.

 It seems that [[definiteness]] is a factor interfering with scrambling. Nonspecific indefinite NPs cannot be scrambled and neither can particles or small clause predicates. One point of controversy is whether scrambling is a case of movement (of NP) and if so whether it is [[A-bar movement]] or not.

		+	In the study of [[Germanic]] [[SOV]]-languages the term is used to refer to word order variation of argument [[NP]]s with respect to each other and/or with respect to [[adverbial phrase]]s.
		+
		+	=== Example ===
		+
		+	in [[German]] an object may follow or precede an adverb (object and adverb may be scrambled):
		+
		+	(i) a Er hat ihr vielleicht dieses Buch gegeben
		+	he has her maybe this book given
		+	b Er hat ihr dieses Buch vielleicht gegeben
		+
		+	Two objects may be scrambled as well:
		+
		+	(ii) Er hat dieses Buch vielleicht ihr gegeben
		+
		+	And sometimes an object - ''den Max'' in (iii) - may even scramble over the subject, as in (iii)b:
		+
		+	(iii) a ... dass jeder den Max kennt
		+	that everyone (the) Max knows
		+	b ... dass den Max jeder kennt
		+
		+	It seems that [[definiteness]] is a factor interfering with scrambling. Nonspecific indefinite NPs cannot be scrambled and neither can particles or small clause predicates. One point of controversy is whether scrambling is a case of movement (of NP) and if so whether it is [[A-bar movement]] or not.
