Endoclitics in Pashto: Can They Really Do That?
نویسنده
چکیده
A cross-linguistically very rare type of clitic, the endoclitic, occurs in Pashto. Like infixes, endoclitics can be inserted inside of a word, but by splitting words apart into separate nonadjacent pieces which themselves might not have any meaning. Unlike infixes, however, endoclitics are not inflections; their meaning is unrelated to that of their host word. This paper discusses some of the problems endoclitics cause for processing Pashto, both written and spoken.
