Word order in noun phrases in the sermons of Kirill Turovsky

The article deals with the position of the concordant attribute in noun phrases in three sermons of the 12th-century Russian writer Kirill Turovsky (as presented in a 14thcentury manuscript). Three types of word combinations are considered separately: word combinations with one attribute (adjective or pronoun); word combinations with more than one attribute (adjectives or an adjective and a pronoun); word combinations with non-contiguous position of the attribute. Preposition of the attribute is characteristic of the author’s text; instances of an attribute in postposition are rare. In biblical citations the attribute is mostly in postposition.
