Clitics: An Introduction

Advance praise: '... a reliable and well organized guide through the fascinating world of clitics. The authors deserve praise for the lucid and balanced way in which they present and analyze clitic phenomena in such a remarkably wide range of languages.' Geert Booij, University of Leiden 'Clitics are the marsupials of language, a class of creatures lying between words and affixes. In this lucid introduction, Spencer and Luis show how clitics illuminate crucial properties of language.' Mark Aronoff, Stony Brook University
