The parameter of choosiness vs. promiscuity is crucial in differentiating the categories of word, affix, and clitic. |
|
In more prestigious varieties of Spanish, the clitic and object noun phrase are in complementary distribution. |
|
Granted, there is a possibility that the clitic forms had not yet evolved 200 years ago. |
|
Moreover, de is not truly a clitic because, unlike clitics, it is not attached to the beginning or end of a phrase or clause. |
|
This is the sense that appeared with clitic dative subject in meseems. |
|
There is in fact a bit of evidence for this analysis, instead of a more complicated one wherein these words are some form of clitic. |
|
Moreover, clitic climbing is also prohibited in ru', 'i' H, and gi' constructions. |
|
The status of the possessive as an affix or a clitic is the subject of debate. |
|
French uses SOV by default, but in the common case where the subject is a clitic pronoun, the order is SVO instead. |
|
If the possessed object is plural, the clitic is e regardless of the gender. |
|
While the two variants carry similar meaning and phonological makeup, the special clitic is bound to a host word and unaccented. |
|
The analysis is supported in spoken Dutch by the placement of clitic pronoun subjects. |
|
In these examples, the clitic comes in between the finite and the non-finite verb. |
|
Rates of use of these clitic microphrases are especially apt to discriminate between authors. |
|
Furthermore, clitic climbing is also allowed. |
|
The clitic used is the dative Les, as opposed to the accusative Los. |
|
Catalan still largely maintains this system with a highly complex clitic pronoun system. |
|
When a pronoun cannot serve as a clitic, a separate disjunctive form is used. |
|
These forms cannot be stressed, so for emphasis the disjunctive pronouns must be used in combination with the clitic subject forms. |
|
Object pronouns in Latin were normal words, but in the Romance languages they have become clitic forms, which must stand adjacent to a verb and merge phonologically with it. |
