In she co-operated in a Bulgarian-German word order project. Italian grammar is the body of rules describing the properties of the Italian n words can be divided into the following lexical categories: articles, nouns, adjectives, pronouns, verbs, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions, and interjections.

They have the features of pronominal forms on the one hand and grammaticalized markers on the other. The present analysis builds on my previous publications in the field of Bulgarian clitics, sentence pragmatics and word order, but it also takes into account other recent publications on the.

Extract. 1 Abstract The article deals with the development of word-order of the preterit auxiliary in the Old Czech. According to the comprehensive works dealing with Czech historical syntax Gebauer (); Trávníček (, ), it can be assumed that the originally accented forms of AUXP changed into permanent clitic forms during the Old-Czech period.

In linguistics, word order typology is the study of the order of the syntactic constituents of a language, and how different languages employ different orders. Correlations between orders found in different syntactic sub-domains are also of interest. The primary word orders that are of interest are the constituent order of a clause, namely the relative order of subject, object, and verb.

Bulgarian has direct-object clitics, indirect-object clitics, and auxiliary clitics, but the book concentrates on direct-object clitics. The chapter develops the idea that Bulgarian direct-object clitics ("clitics" henceforth) are case markers (K heads) but that they also have agreement properties.

The word order of Option 3 is used in Bulgarian most often for assigning focus on a fronted element, which is not the case in the context of the T opic Accusative condition and therefore the lower.

in clause-initial position, as shown in (1b). Moreover, Bulgarian clitics cannot be separated from the verb, except by another clitic. Finally, they typically appear in a sequence or cluster whose internal ordering is fixed.

This brief summary underlines the well-behaved char acter of Bulgarian clitics from a. Yet, these dative clitics seem to exhibit distinct behavior in the nominal and clausal domains: in Bulgarian the nominal clitics appear in second position within the nominal phrase while the clausal clitics are verb-adjacent and non-initial within the clause.

In section 1 I examine the clitic system of Serbo-Croatian (SC), a second position clitic language. In section 2 I turn to Bulgarian and Macedonian, whose clitics are traditionally considered to be verbal. consequence of these conjectures is that only clitics adjoined above the Prosodic Word level—as in Bulgarian—can potentially violate STRONG START.

In other words, clitics in Bulgarian appear postverbally in order to avoid prosodic deviance. 6 I follow Ito and Mester in assuming an impoverished inventory of prosodic. Catherine Rudin is a leading specialist in Bulgarian syntax, whose work focuses on wh-constructions, clitics, and word order.

She is also known for her comparative syntactic research on other Balkan and Slavic languages (including seminal work on multiple wh-questions), for her work on the Native American language Omaha-Ponca, and for forays in literary translation and Balkan Turkish linguistics.domain. Although phrasal clitics can appear adjacent to the head, this is strictly coincidental.

It is thus essential to use data in which the clitic is not next to the head of the phrase in order to exclude the possibility that what appear to be phrasal clitics are not in fact of the head-adja-cent type.analysis of Bulgarian clitics which derives the correct word order of all clitics, including the problematic 3rd person auxiliary, treats clitic doubling as movement-triggered agreement, and unifies two seemingly disparate cases of obligatory doubling.
