Abstract:

Clitics, those “funny little words” like English contracted future tense and
pluperfect tense/conditional mood markers ("ll" and "d") or French pronominal
objects ("le"‘him’, "la"‘her’,"lui" ‘to him/her’, etc.), have long been a
source of fascination for linguists. Lacking an inherent stress that
characterizes “well-behaved” words, clitics prosodically depend on a stressed
sentence element, called their "host", which makes them look and, in some
contexts, behave like affixes (parts of words). Some clitics, Serbian
second-position clitics being the case in point, also obey stringent linear
ordering rules, different from those holding for fully-fledged sentence
elements. This monograph offers a comprehensive formalized description of
second-position clitics in standard Serbian from the viewpoint of the
Meaning-Text theory, an approach relying on syntactic dependencies and
oriented towards speech production, which sets it apart from most contemporary
frameworks. It will be of interest for general linguists, Slavists, and
advanced learners of Serbian.
