Overview

This title contains 14 articles that reflect ideas on the phonology, morphology, and syntax of clitics. It covers the forms and functions of clitics in various typologically diverse languages and presents data from European Portuguese, Macedonian, and Yoruba. It deals with the prosodic structure of clitics, their morphological status, clitic placement, and clitic doubling. The form and behaviour of clitics with respect to tonal phenomena and in vers are discussed, and other articles address the prosodi representation of clitics in Irish, the differences in the acquisition of clitics and strong pronouns in Catalan, the similarities between clitics and affixes or words in Romance and Bantu languages, and complex problems concerning verbal clitics in Romanian and Balkan languages.
