Pronouns, Clitics and Empty Nouns: ‘Pronominality’ and licensing in syntax

Phoevos Panagiotidis

Pavlou, Natalia and Phoevos Panagiotidis 2013 The morphosyntax of -nde and post-verbal clitics in Cypriot Greek Challenging Clitics, Meklenborg Salvesen, Christine and Hans Petter Helland (eds.), pp. 209–232 | Article

We argue that -nde is a… read more
