"g. Browning & Karimi 1994; Karimi 2003; Ghomeshi 1997; Ganjavi 2007) claim that rā-marked (definite and/or specific) direct objects (DOs) occupy a higher position than their non-rā-marked (indefinite non-specific) counterparts.
[VP [V’ PP [V’ DP[-Specific] V]]] Karimi (2003) mentions different instances of syntactic asymmetries 1 between the two types of DOs to support her claim, considering that the unmarked (relative) word order between the DO and the IO is crucial among others.
3. Against Dual Accounts Despite their differences, all the studies that suggest a structural difference between the two types of DOs are built on the claim that in a neutral or unmarked word order, rā-marked DOs precede the IO, while their non-rā-marked counterparts follow the IO.
the distribution of the word order with respect to different types of DOs, that is, rā-marked, indefinite, bare-modified and bare nouns 1 , reflects a continuum on the basis of the degree of determination of the DO.
Consequently, assuming longer constituents are lexically richer and hence more salient and conceptually accessible, it is possible to attribute this "long-before-short" preference in the preverbal domain in Persian to the more important influence of conceptual factors, comparing to form-related ones (Faghiri & Samvelian, 2014; Faghiri et al.
Accordingly, bearing in mind the analysis of the "long-before-short" preference provided by Yamashita & Chang (2001), it is possible to establish a continuum based on the increasing degree of conceptual accessibility, combining discourse givenness/prominence and lexical salience, from the strong preference of bare DOs for the IO-DO-V order to the strong preference of rā-marked DOs for the DO-IO-V order."
