Klitika im Slavischen : sind sie immer optimal?
- The following paper is concerned with the syntax of Slavic clitics, drawing relevant generalizations across the array of West and South Slavic languages. The study concentrates on two currently discussed approaches of generative grammar, the Minimalist Program (MP) and the Optimality Theory (OT). Section 1 provides a short introduction, section 2 gives some basic facts on the phonological and prosodic requirements of the grammar of clitics, section 3 is concerned with the morphosyntax of two types of clitics (simple and special clitics), whereas section 4 summarizes the Slavic data of different clitic classes. In section 5 some derivational approaches of a formal analysis of clitics in generative grammar are demonstrated. Section 6 presents an alternative analysis of clitics based on some recent results of the OT.
