Abstract:

In most languages we find 'little words' which resemble a full word, but which
cannot stand on their own. Instead they have to 'lean on' a neighbouring word,
like the 'd, 've and unstressed 'em of Kim'd've helped'em ('Kim would have
helped them'). These are clitics, and they are found in most of the world's
languages. In English the clitic forms appear in the same place in the
sentence that the full form of the word would appear in but in many languages
clitics obey quite separate rules of placement. This book is the first
introduction to clitics, providing a complete summary of their properties,
their uses, the reasons why they are of interest to linguists and the various
theoretical approaches that have been proposed for them. The book describes a
whole host of clitic systems and presents data from over 100 languages.
