[Lingtyp] Keystone literature on clitic vs suffix distinction

[Bill Palmer]

Hi David


Sorry to butt in late, but I can't see how a list of important literature on clitics can omit Stephen Anderson's 2005 book Aspects of the Theory of Clitics.

Thanks to everyone who replied to me. For others looking into the phenomenon, here is a list of the most-recommended papers:

Zwicky and Pullum. 1983. Cliticization vs. Inflection: English n't

Haspelmath, Martin. 2011. Indeterminacy of word segmentation

Bermúdez-Otero, Ricardo, and John Payne. 2011. There are no special clitics.

Spencer, A. and Luís, A. 2012. The canonical clitic, chapter form Canonical morphology and syntax.

Haspelmath, Martin. 2015. Defining vs. diagnosing linguistic categories: A case study of clitic phenomena.

Tallman, Adam. 2017. There are no special clitics in Chácobo (Pano)

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?
