Its central argument may be simply stated: attestations such as \u003cem\u003emeg ih \u003c\/em\u003e(\u0026lt;\u003cem\u003e mag ih\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003e'I am able to,' \u003cem\u003etheiz \u003c\/em\u003e(\u0026lt; \u003cem\u003ethaz iz\u003c\/em\u003e) 'that it,' and \u003cem\u003ewolt er \u003c\/em\u003e(\u0026lt; \u003cem\u003ewolta er\u003c\/em\u003e) 'he wanted' comprise a host and clitic and are all manifestations of one unified process of cliticization. Establishing the crucial elements of the argument, however, requires that we reach beyond a phonological and prosodic account of the cliticization process. In order to show that attested clitic groups are actively produced, as opposed to lexically listed or grammaticalized, this work examines Otfridian clause structure, an analysis that provides an alternative to the more traditional treatment of clitics within the framework of grammaticalization theory. Finally, as the \u003cem\u003eEvangelienbuch \u003c\/em\u003eis a work of poetry, the effect of the meter on cliticization patterns is also addressed. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"De Gruyter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57260462047576,"sku":"9783484305304","price":121.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9783484305304.jpg?v=1778812262","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/from-phonology-to-syntax-pronominal-cliticization-in-otfrids-evangelienbuch","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
