Submission Deadline: 18-Aug-2026

The panel “Clitics: Variation and Linguistic Change” is part of the
25th Congreso de la Asociación Alemana de Hispanistas, with the main
topic "Hispanística transatlántica: relaciones –mundos – vías", to be
held at the University of Augsburg from March 9 to 13, 2027.
This panel is dedicated to clitics and to grammatical and pragmatic
aspects of related phenomena such as:
 - leísmo (laísmo, loísmo) (Fernández Ordóñez 1999; Flores Cervantes
2006) also in relation with other morphosyntactic phenomena such as
differential object marking (Company Company 2003)
 - clitic doubling with direct and indirect objects (with or without
gender and number agreement). For instance, clitic doubling with
direct objects is limited to stressed pronouns in European Spanish,
whereas it also occurs with personal names and definite human noun
phrases in Rioplatense Spanish and Judeo-Spanish (Rinke et al. 2019,
2023; Kurtz 2022). The doubling of clitics with indirect objects is
characterized by the absence of number agreement in varieties such as
Mexican and Colombian Spanish (Huerta 2005; Dieck et al. 2022)
 - the archimorpheme lo and the omission of the direct object pronoun
in contact varieties such as Peruvian Andean Spanish (Sánchez Paraíso
2025)
 - the combination of clitics, as in the replacement of gelo with selo
in Old Spanish (Enrique-Arias 2024) or in se los in Mexican Spanish to
express a plural indirect object and a singular direct object
(Schwenter & Hoff 2021)
 - clitic climbing in Old Spanish and Modern Spanish (Torres Cacoullos
1999; Nieuwenhuijsen 2006)
Many of these phenomena have been studied from different perspectives,
ranging from theoretical analyses within the framework of generative
grammar to quantitative analyses in variationist studies that include
linguistic variation and change, and language contact.
Keynote speakers of our panel:
 - Inés Fernández-Ordóñez (Universidad Autónoma de Madrid)
 - Scott Schwenter (The Ohio State University)
