Finnish word order is relatively free, making room for all mathematically possible word orders in many constructions. Because there is no evidence in this language for radical nonconfigurationality, explanations must be sought from syntax. It is argued in this article that morphosyntax and word order represent syntactic structure at the PF-interface. Rich morphosyntax frees word order, poor morphosyntax freezes it. The hypothesis is formalized within the context of a parsing-oriented theory of the human language faculty (UG) combining left-to-right minimalism with the dynamic syntax approach. The analysis was implemented as an algorithm and successfully tested with a corpus of 119,800 unique Finnish word orders.

芬兰语词序：理解重要吗？

芬兰语词序相对自由，在许多结构中为所有数学上可能的词序腾出了空间。因为在这种语言中没有证据表明激进的非配置性，所以必须从句法中寻求解释。本文认为形态句法和词序代表了 PF 接口的句法结构。丰富的形态句法释放了词序，糟糕的形态句法冻结了它。该假设是在人类语言能力 (UG) 的面向解析的理论的上下文中形式化的，该理论结合了从左到右的极简主义与动态句法方法。该分析以算法的形式实施，并使用包含 119,800 个独特芬兰语词序的语料库成功测试。
