"The Catalan clitic system: A diachronic perspective on its syntax and phonology is a qualitative and quantitative investigation into the Catalan clitic system from Old to Modern Catalan. Building on the Minimalist Program, the author shows that a number of facts about Old Roman…
In this volume, the relationship between clitics and affixes and their combinatorial properties has led to a serious discussion of the interface between syntax, morphology, semantics, and phonology that draws on a variety of theoretical perspectives (e.g., HPSG, Optimality Theor…

Anagnostopoulou reports research begun in 1994, conducted at the U. of Tilburg, MIT, and U. of Crete. She investigates ditransitives and the complex syntactic interaction between NP-movement and cliticization in double object constructions, arguing that NP-movement can be used a…
As a typical interface phenomenon, clitics have become increasingly important in linguistic theory during the last decade. The present book contributes to the recent discussion and first provides a comprehensive overview of clitic sequencing, clitic placement and clitic doubling…
