A note on Basque vocative clitics

چکیده
This article proposes an analysis of “allocutive” morphemes in Basque, which are taken to be a species of vocative expression. This article focuses on two properties of vocative clitics: the fact that their morpheme order inside the auxiliary is sensitive to ergative person; and the way vocative clitics condition exponence of auxiliary roots. These reflect the first-merged position of vocative morphemes in the left periphery, and different ways that vocative clitics may receive case.
