• 3rd person clitic combinations across Catalan varieties: Consequences of the nature of the dative clitic 

      Cabré, Teresa; Fábregas, Antonio (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-04-12)
      This article argues that variation in how 3rd person clitic combinations are solved across Catalan varieties depends on the internal morphosyntactic shape of the dative clitic in each variety. We argue that the dative clitic in Valencian Catalan is an inherently case-marked pronominal form (KP), while non Valencian Catalan varieties, that contain a locative clitic, build the dative as a definite ...

Specifically, in syntactic terms datives can be different from accusatives or identical to them at some point in the derivation; in the latter case, clashes between 3rd person clitics emerge. Our approach, then, argues that clitic incompatibilities ...
