Dear All,

Can someone suggest any references on the treatment of Spanish clitics?
I'm particularly interested in "se" in all of its functions, as well as
any ordering principles (like Perlmutter's output constraint on clitic
ordering:  se II I III, referring to "se"<2nd person<1st person<3rd
person. The reflexive use of "se" is straightforward, as in:
   Se mataron. -> They killed themselves/each other.
It's all the other uses of "se" that I'm curious about.

Thanks for your suggestions.
