چکیده
This dissertation is primarily concerned with nontransparent output forms in Romance pronominal clitic combinations. The position is taken that pronominal clitics constitute hierarchical structures of morphological features. Each clitic is a subset of the structure shown below:

Pronominal Clitics in Québec Colloquial French: A Morphological Analysis
The grammatical status of Romance pronominal clitics has long been the object of intense debate. Are they syntactically-independent arguments or are they affixal agreement markers? This dissertation addresses this question with respect to Québec Colloquial French (QCF). It treats the morphophonological and morphosyntactic dimensions as two independent dimensions, thus allowing either for affixe...
متن کاملPersian object clitics and the syntax - morphology interface
This paper presents a descriptive overview and formal analysis of the use of pronominal clitics for realizing various types of arguments in Persian, with particular emphasis on object clitics in the verbal domain. We argue that pronominal clitics behave more like suffixes than independent syntactic elements; in cases where they take syntactic scope over an NP or a PP, they must be phrasal affix...
متن کاملParallel Morpho-Syntactic Constraints in European Portuguese Cliticization
Within current surface-oriented lexical frameworks, the standard approach to cliticization phenomena in Romance assumes that affixation of pronominal clitics to their verbal hosts should be conceived of as an instance of lexical alternation. Consequently, under the analyses proposed by e.g. Miller and Sag (1995) and Monachesi (1996) these phenomena are dealt with in terms of lexical rules. This...
متن کاملClitic Constructions
An analysis of French and Romance clitic constructions in simple clauses is proposed reconciling the two dominant approaches on this topic. This analysis treats them as involving both movement and base generation and, as part of a larger research program, assimilates the syntax of clitics to that of other functional heads. Accordingly, a clitic is analyzed as heading its own projection and as l...
متن کاملParallel Morpho - Syntactic Constraints in European Portuguese
1 Abstract In this paper I shall propose an account of morphosyntactic phenomena like European Por-tuguese (hence: EP) cliticization in terms of interacting morphophonological and surface-syntactic constraints. In particular, I suggest that mor-phophonological constraints are partially under-speciied with respect to morpheme linearization, information that will be added monotonically by surface...
