“…Slavic languages, for instance, also have clitic auxiliaries: Rivero (1994) The lack of implication might be tied to the fact that originally the partitive clitic ne is also a locative indicating movement out of a place, so that we can suppose that both locative arguments develop together into clitic elements ix . Another argument in favor of the idea that the emergence of clitics is tied to case and that direct objects and indirect objects are the first elements developing a clitic series comes from clitic clusters, which interestingly behave in some languages as compounds belonging to a complex but unique syntactic object.…”

“…10 Cf. also Rivero (1994) who locates щe in the head of a modal phrase directly below CP, although she does not specify its concrete content. 11 I believe that both Kramer's (1992, 115) term 'projective mood ' and Smirnova's (2010, 108) notion of 'future episodic reading' for щe are in the same lines as the present analysis.…”

Complex verbs between syntax and morphology in Bulgarian

This paper develops a theory of Bulgarian sentence and verb complex structure based on lexicalist minimalist assumptions, Bierwisch's theory of Verb Cluster Formation (VCF), and the Two-level Theory of Meaning which distinguishes grammatically determined meaning from extralinguistically determined meaning. It is argued that both ще and да are modal particles marking specific types of verbal mood. They are connected with the verb in a zone between morphology (lexicon) and syntax, namely through the process of VCF. This also holds for the clitic auxiliaries within perfect tense formation. Furthermore, the Complementizer Phrase (CP) is assumed to be the place where existential quantification of the predicate's event variable is marked in syntax (going hand in hand with existential presupposition). Да-expressions are analyzed as Modal Phrases (ModPs) lacking a CP layer, from which it can be concluded that there is no existential presupposition. It is assumed that the latter takes place only on the level of Conceptual Structure due to extragrammatical factors such as the speaker's world knowledge. This approach can explain the interpretational differences between че-sentences and да-expressions. Also, a lexicalist way of accounting for the different selectional properties of matrix predicates is presented.Аннотация В данной статье предлагается теория о структуре предложения и гла-гольного кластера в болгарском языке. Используются минималистские предполо-жения, лексикализм, теория формирования глагольного комплекса, разработанная лингвистом Bierwisch, а также 'теория двух уровней значения', отличающая грам-матически определенное значение от значения, определенного внеязыковыми фак-торами. Предпологается, что ще и да являются специфическими реализациями гла-гольного наклонения, т.е. модальными частицами. Они сочетаются с глаголом меж-ду морфологией и синтаксисом, а именно в результате формирования глагольного комплекса. Таким же образом сочетаются и клитические вспомогательные глаголы с глаголом, из чего возникает минало неопределено време ('перфект'). Предпола-H. Pitsch ( ) Georg-August-Universität Göttingen, Göttingen, Germany e-mail: hpitsch@uni-goettingen.de 308 H. Pitsch гается, что проекция комплементайзера (CP) является местом, где реализуется эк-зистенциальная квантификация переменной события данного предиката (предполо-жение о существовании выражаемой пропозиции). С синтактической точки зрения видно, что дa-конструкции-модальные фразы (ModPs), у которых нет проекции CP. Из этого следует, что невозможно предположение о существовании (existential presupposition). Последнее может происходить только на уровне семантической ре-презентации, называемой 'концептуальной структурой', т.е. в зависимости от вне-языковых факторов. Данный подход способен объяснить интерпретативные разли-чия между че-предложениями и да-конструкциями. Предлагается также формальное описание трех видов предикатов с вариантами использования че-предложения и (или) да-конструкции.

“…I argue that such constructions should be identified with the long head movement construction 40 (Lema and Rivero 1990;Rivero 1991Rivero , 1994Rivero , 1998Rivero , 2000Rivero , 2003Roberts 1993;Borsley et al 1996, and references therein), and Scandinavian stylistic fronting (Platzack 1988;Maling 1990;Rögnvaldsson and Thráinsson 1990;Holmberg and Platzack 1995;Holmberg 2000Holmberg , 2005, and references therein); see Holmberg (2005) for these constituting a single construction (also suggested in Fanselow 2002; Ackema andČamdžić 2003; Poole and Burton-Roberts 2004, among others). The construction under the term long head movement is well attested for example in many Slavic languages, certain Romance languages, and Breton.…”

Warlpiri and the theory of second position clitics

This paper examines the placement of aspect and agreement clitics in Warlpiri. A common misconception regarding clitic placement in Warlpiri is cleared up: clitic placement does not depend on syllable count. It is also shown that these clitics do not uniformly appear in second position, syntactically or phonologically, making the standard label of "second position clitics" a misnomer. An analysis is developed in terms of syntactic head movement combined with local morphological reordering. The discussion also reveals a genuine morphological first word phenomenon, whereby a preverb may be split from its associated verb.
