N2  - There aredifferent classifications of sentences. Structurally-typological approach tothe classification of sentences is based on a comparison of the word order,i.e. the position of main and secondary components in a simple sentence. Suchan approach follows from the theory of language typology elaborated by theAmerican linguist J. Greenberg. In the theoretical part the report provides themain thesis of the classical Greenberg’s theory, which is based on the order ofthe basic components of a simple sentence: subject (S), verb (V) and object(O). According to this theory any language admits different configurations ofthe elements: SVO, SOV, VSO, VOS, OSV or OVS, but the dominant order can beonly one. Greenberg took into account only sentences with nominal subject andnominal object. As a rule the most frequent orders are SVO, SOV and VSO. Theother three orders VOS, OSV, OVS are very rare and hardly reach the dominantstatus.Spanish istraditionally considered SVO-language. Nevertheless there are contemporarylinguistic investigations that give new information according to which theSpanish language is not only the type SVO but also the type VSO.As for the oldSpanish language there are different opinions: some linguists consider that thetype VSO is an intermediate one between the Latin order SOV and modern Spanishorder SVO, others refer the old Spanish language to the type SVO. Thus, the aimof the report is to analyze the types of simple narrative sentences in thelanguage of formal letters written in old Spanish of the XIII century.Based on the theory of J. Greenberg the author examines models of simplesentences with so called full syntactic frame, i.e. models where subject andobject are expressed by separate word. In models SVO, SOV, VSO, VOS, OSV, OVSthe author distinguishes pronominal, nominal and pronominal-nominal ways of thesubject expression, as well as the nominative object and pronominalobject-clitic. The examples from formal letters dated by the XIII century showthat the old Spanish language refers to the type SVO.
