Abstract:

This collective monograph is the first data-oriented, empirical in-depth study
of the system of clitics on Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian. It fills the gap
between the theoretical and normative literature by including solid data on
variation found in dialects and spoken language and obtained from massive Web
Corpora and speakers’ acceptability judgements. The authors investigate three
primary sources of variation: inventory, placement and morphonological
processes. A separate part of the book is dedicated to the phenomenon of
clitic climbing, the major challenge for any syntactic theory. The theory of
complexity serves as the explanation for the very diverse constraints on
clitic climbing established in the empirical studies. It allows to construct a
series of hierarchies where the factors relevant for predicting clitic
climbing interact with each other. Thus, the study pushes our understanding of
clitics away from fine-grained descriptions and syntactic generalisations
towards a probabilistic modelling of syntax.
