Parentheticals with speech verbs occur in three positions in the sentence; they are initial, medial and final. The parenthetical initiates, finalizes or temporarily pauses the flow of the sentence. We know that the Erzya language has a wealth of suffixes, which allow the language a liberal freedom of sentence constituent ordering. The freedom, however, is not infinite: at the beginning of the sentence, the subject of discussion is usually familiar, while, at the end, it is less familiar -- something new. Certain phenomena in the constituent ordering provide contrastivity.
In preparation of this paper, the position of speech-verb parentheticals are taken into consideration. If we place the speech element initially, the order of words in the final parenthetical will change. We might consider that the change of ordering is caused by "displacement". The initial position, which more often than not, is dedicated to familiar information (the subject), is taken, and now the only element acceptable before the verb is an adverb. Let us take a two-word sentence: c'oras' sy 'the man is coming'. The word "c'oras'" in this sentence makes reference to an inferable or definite entity within the context. Therefore, it takes sentence-initial position. Had this same word come second, the verb would have been given notable emphasis: "sy c'oras'" 'The man IS coming'. The ordering might be used in correcting erroneous information provided by a partner in dialogue. e.g. "Son mer's' -- c'oras' a sy." 'he/she said -- the man is not coming.'
