French Clitic Movement Without Clitics or Movement
Natural Language & Linguistic Theory, 1997The French clitic system has posed a persistent challenge to transformational syntactic analysis, which has never produced a successful account of problems such as clitic ordering. Lexicalist alternatives, however, have never been reconciled with the full range of familiar problems and the growing body of known lexical idiosyncracies.

AbstractAn affix is a term in a morphological system which is applied to lexical stems from one (or perhaps a small number of) word classes. In contrast, a clitic is an independent element which can attach to lexical stems from a wide range of word classes (often from every one). It cannot occur alone but must be linked to a lexical element (with which

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

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 ...

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.

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.

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 ...
