Linguistic Field(s): Syntax 

Meeting Description: 

The publication of Richard Kayne's 1975 monograph on French syntax initiated a lot of research on French but also on more general theoretical issues. The book defines five tests of clitichood: a clitic may never be modified, stressed, separated from its host, and lastly, clitic clusters always have a fixed word order. Over the years clitics have come to play a central role in linguistics. Within diachronic syntax, for example, clitics are thought to represent an intermediary stage between a full lexical item and an inflexional affix. There is however evidence that Kayne's tests of clitichood should be challenged. In African French, clitics may be stressed, and in the history of Italian, the internal position of clitics has changed. It is also necessary to modify the basically Romance conception of clitics: Clitics in the Germanic languages are not primarily pronouns, and their host is not necessarily a verb. These facts raise some questions: What kind of words may cliticise? What kind of word may clitics cliticise to? Is there cross-linguistic evidence that suggests a different way of defining clitics than the five tests provided by Kayne? 

The workshop aims at looking at clitics from different angles, both with regards to the languages under study and the theoretical framework in use.
