Abstract The article presents the results of a research project regarding constituent order in trivalent Latin verbs, using Dik's functional grammar. Results show that the prototypical order when there are three constituents is accusative - prepositional syntagm - verb, and nominative - accusative - prepositional syntagm - verb, when there are four. With respect to the semantic structure, the prototypical order is: beneficiary, goal, verb.

Keywords : constituent order; Latin syntax; trivalent verbs; functional grammar.
