On Clitics and Cliticization

<p>First published in 1995. This investigation shows that cliticization is not a totally unified phenomenon. Asymmetries in the behaviour of phonological and syntactic clitics show that no single principle predicts all clitic behaviour. The study explores the idea that modifications to the original five parameter system of analysis can be altered to a more efficient analysis in terms of three parameters. This title will be of interest to students of phonetics and phonology. </p> <p>Foreword <i>Arnold M. Zwicky</i>; Acknowledgements; Preface; Introduction; Terminology; 1. Initial Facts 2.
