Meeting clitics

Workshop on explanatory proposals of clitics

23rd-24th august 2008

classroom 110

Meeting Clitics will take place during the Linguistic Institute in Barcelona. This workshop intends to gather people working on any aspect of clitics. Nowadays there are theoretical explanations that assume that clitics are morphemes of the verb and other explanations that assume that they are constituents in the sentence. Also, some proposals assume that clitics are generated in situ and other proposals assume that they have movement. With respect to the acquisition of clitics, some studies find clitic omission, sometimes depending on language groups.  All topics on clitics and its acquisition will be considered.
