In diachronic linguistics, the Naturalness Theory purports to unravel the seemingly random distribution of linguistic variants at the early stage of their assertion, when no other tangible functional, contextual or pragmatic motivation exists.

Special attention is paid to the relevance of traditional grammatical parameters in defining grammatical environment as complex.
