Dative clitics in Romanian ditransitives

Romance Languages and Linguistic Theory, 2021
Abstract This chapter presents a novel analysis for Romanian ditransitives. Based on empirical findings, we develop a derivational account building on the internal make-up of the two internal arguments. The account departs from the observation that clitic doubling (CD) of indirect objects (IO) and Differential Object Marking (DOM) of ...

Nondeictic accusative and dative clitics and their variant forms in European and Brazilian Portuguese

Investigating the Secondary Effects of Processing Instruction in Spanish: From Instruction on Accusative Clitics to Transfer-of-Training Effects on Dative Clitics

L2 Spanish learners (N = 123) received either PI or traditional instruction (TI) targeting third-person ...

External Arguments and Dative Cliticization: Evidence of Selective Spell‐out of Functional Heads

Syntax, 2016
AbstractThe paper discusses dative cliticization in Modern Greek in passives and unaccusatives. Based on crosslinguistic evidence, I show that dative cliticization is not implicated in movement operations that violate the Minimal Link Condition (MLC). Instead, the observed cliticization patterns exhaustively reduce to the effects of a generalized form ...

Dative experiencers with nominal predicates in Romanian: a synchronic and diachronic study

Folia linguistica, 2021
This article investigates the evolution of the Romanian pattern [dative clitic + ‘be’ + N] (cf. Mi-e foame, lit. me.dat=is hunger, ‘I’m hungry’) from the 16th century until present-day Romanian. This pattern traces back to the Latin mihi est construction
