This paper gives an overview of the Danish data on argument placement in the Nordic Word Order Database (NWD, Lundquist et al. 2019). The data were collected from 28 speakers in Copenhagen and Fredriksværk in 2018. The experimental task elicited subject and object placement relative to adverbs and particles (i.e., subject shift, object shift and particle shift), as well as subject placement relative to objects (long object shift). The results confirm that there is considerably less variability in argument placement in Danish than in the other North Germanic languages.
