Clitic Properties

View through CrossRef
Abstract The primary goal of this chapter is to show that PMs in Udi are clitics, not affixes. This is an important part of the overall goals of this work, since I must establish that PMs are clitics before I can show, in Chapter 6, that they are endoclitics. I approach this problem by considering the definitions and diagnostic criteria proposed in the literature to distinguish clitics from other grammatical items. I begin with Zwicky and Pullum (1983) in §5.1, move to Klavans (1985) in §5.2, and then to Scalise (1984) in §5.3, and a comparison with Romance clitics in §5.4. In §5.5 I briefly discuss the problem that Udi PMs have properties reminiscent of agreement, and I conclude with a general assessment in §5.6. In §5.1.6, other particles are considered, and it is shown that they are clitics.
