Two these concerning word order in Mandarin Chinese have been investigated through a quantified study of written and spoken contemporary Mandarin. It is found, first, that Mandarin is synchronically a typical VO language., in terms of the text distribution of VO and OV orders. OV appears at the level of 10% or lower in text, and this is true for both definite and indefinite objects. Further, the functional distribution of OV in both texts suggests that it is an emphatic/contrastive discourse device, having little to do with the contrast between definite and indefinite object, Finally, neither the evidence from our text distribution data nor a comparison witrh a recent study of the acquisition of Mandarin by native children suggests the existence of adiachronic drift toward SOV order.*
