On the Syntax of Subnominal Clitics: Cliticization and Ellipsis
Syntax, 1998This article uses the properties of the French subnominal clitic en as a probe to explore various issues in current syntactic theory. Section 2 presents some of its chief properties; section 3 deals with the way they relate to the VP‐internal hypothesis for subjects; section 4 discusses the intricate ways in which the null subject parameter interacts ...

Clitic Clusters and Clitic Doubling
2006Many function words in the Balkan Sprachbund languages are clitics. Except in Balkan Romani, most of the “clausal” clitics, notably the pronominal and auxiliary clitics, the negation marker, the subjunctive marker and occasionally monosyllabic adverbs, occur in clusters.

Clitics and Clitic Clusters in Morphology
2019Clitics can be defined as prosodically defective function words. They can belong to a number of syntactic categories, such as articles, pronouns, prepositions, complementizers, negative adverbs, or auxiliaries. They do not generally belong to open classes, like verbs, nouns, or adjectives. Their prosodically defective character is most often manifested

The syntax of clitics revisited: Two types of clitics
Lingua, 2013Abstract This paper provides an analysis of the syntax clitics across languages, showing that the variation found in Romance and Greek cannot be considered from a unified viewpoint. In particular, we argue that three independent syntactic proposals in the literature conspire to do justice to the crosslinguistic behavior of clitics.

This bibliography provides an alphabetical listing of over 1500 articles, books, and dissertations that treat in some way the topic of clitics and related matters, e.g. affixes, words, word order, movement, sandhi, etc. The beginning point for the bibliographic entries is 1892, taking Jacob Wackernagel's classic work as the point of departure, and the ...

1999
In this paper, we are mainly concerned with more complex environments in which clitics do not appear in second, but in third position (hence the title), or somewhere further into the clause. In the work cited, we were concerned with one particular aspect of the clitic second phenomenon: the way that it interacts with verb movement.

Lexicalization of 3rd person object clitics: clitic enclisis and clitic drop
2010The data considered in this article illustrate the subtle variation that typically surfaces when the empirical sample includes a sufficient number of related languages, which share a similar grammar and differ from one another in minimal morpholexical choices.

Object clitics for subject clitics in Francoprovençal and Piedmontese
2018This article illustrates and analyses the intricate phenomenon of OCL-for-SCL, found in certain varieties of Franco-Provençal Valdôtain and Piedmontese. This phenomenon, which at first sight appears highly unusual, reflects operations of morphophonological realisation of the kind developed in the context of the theory of Distributed Morphology such as ...

Two Properties of Clitics in Clitic-Doubled Constructions
1992One of the well-known facts about Spanish is that it permits object clitic-doubling (CL-D). CL-D is the process by which an object clitic (CL) enters into a chain with a lexical constituent in argument position, thus forming a discontinuous element (Borer 1984). Both parts of the CL-chain must match in the relevant features (Suner 1986a).
