Description

TitleOn the Phonological Conditioning of Clitic Placement in Zapotec
PublisherUniversity of British Columbia, Dept. of Linguistics

Date Created2000
SubjectSan Dionicio Ocotepec Zapotec, Zapotec language, Aboriginal languages, Grammar, Comparative and general--Clitics
Extent18 p.
DescriptionClitic placement in San Dionicio Ocotepec Zapotec is determined by a combination of syntactic and phonological factors. The most important of these is alignment with the edge of a phonological phrase. In an optimality-theoretic account, it is possible to rank some phonological alignment constraints above syntactic alignment constraints in a way that correctly accounts for the data. Alternatives which seek to derive clitic placement through syntactic movement operations face insuperable problems with the range of positions in which these clitics appear.
