[Lingtyp] Keystone literature on clitic vs suffix distinction

[bingfu Lu]

 My understanding is that: a suffix attaches a word, but a clitic attaches a phrase. For example, -s in He works hard is a suffix while 's in The king of England's is a clitic.  Please correct my naive understanding.

I am working on a paper that is related to the distinction between affixes and clitics and want to make sure I have covered the key literature. What are the cornerstones covering the clitic/affix distinction that folks would recommend I start with?
