A syntactic analysis of the subject clitic a in the Friulian variety of Campone
2015
This article presents a syntactic analysis of the third person subject clitic a in Camponese, a heretofore unstudied Friulian variety. Following Poletto's (2000) map of subject clitics, we argue that it bears [+third person] features, and is, in fact, the spell-out of the functional head Subj°, located in the highest projection of TP (following Rizzi & Shlonsky 2007). In the first part of the article, we offer a detailed description of the distribution and syntactic properties of the subject clitic a, identifying its position in relation to the other elements that occur in the CP and TP. In the second part we discuss two proposals put forward to account for split clitics like a-l in the…
La gramaticalització del futur i el condicional en català antic: el cas de les Vides de sants rosselloneses i els Furs de València
2021
El futur i el condicional de les llengües romàniques sorgeixen de la perífrasi llatina CANTĀRE HABEŌ mitjançant un procés de gramaticalització que passa per diferents estadis. En la llengua medieval, conviuen les formes sintètiques (el faré, faré-lo) i les formes analítiques (fer-lo he), que es distribueixen segons els diferents entorns sintàctics seguint la sintaxi medieval dels pronoms febles. En aquest estudi de corpus, s’extrauen mitjançant el CICA les dades de dues obres del segle XIII, un text religiós, les Vides de sants rosselloneses, i un text jurídic, els Furs de València, per tal de conèixer la sintaxi dels clítics medievals i d’observar el grau de gramaticalització que mostren l…
Sintaxi dels clítics pronominals en català medieval
2005
In this article a classical topic of the studies on historical syntax is analysed: the enclitical or proclitical collocation of atonic pronouns in Catalan. From a Romanic and comparative prespective, it is shown that the clitical pronouns in Old Catalan have a very similar behaviour to the atonic ones in other Romanic lenguages such as, for instance, medieval Spanish or Portuguese, on one hand, and French, on the other. Specifically, we analyse phenomena such as: (i) pronoun collocation in connection to the verb in main and subordinate propositions, in propositions where the verb is the main constituent, in negative propositions, (ii) duplication of clitics or (iii) clitic raising.
La projecció sintaxi-fonologia en els clítics del català i de l'espanyol
1995
This article covers Spanish and Catalan clitic pronouns according to the fundamental theoretical principles of Distributed Morphology. The author postulates that the syntax-phonology mapping of clitics consists of two submappings, the first from syntax to morphology and the second from morphology to phonology. In this second mapping, the clitics may suffer the effect of various morphological rules, specifically, the structural operations of Impoverishment, Adjunction, Fusion and Fission. The author proves that the complex and quirky behaviour of clitics and clitic clusters in Spanish and Barceloní can be easily explained by taking into account that these four operations act on the clitics'…
