'In generative grammar, non-configurational languages are languages characterized by a non-rigid phrase structure, which allows syntactically discontinuous expressions, and a relatively free word order. In configurational languages in contrast, the subject of a sentence is outside the finite verb phrase but the object is inside it.. The concept of non-configurationality was developed by grammarians working within Noam Chomsky's generative framework.' (source: Wiki).
