Subject-object-verb is the typical word order for Shoshone[1]. The subject is not a mandatory component of a grammatical Shoshone sentence. Therefore, impersonal sentences without subjects are allowed; those sentences have a object-verb word order.[2] Sentence meaning is not dependent on word order in Shoshone[1]. For example, if the subject is an unstressed pronoun then it is grammatical for the subject to follow the object of the sentence[2].
