Chris is right, my thesis doesn't deal with these phenomena. However, there is a paper by A. Sanfilippo in the forthcoming CSLI book "Romance in HPSG" that deals with Clitic left dislocation in Italian. I also know of a draft paper on Romanian clitic doubling by Ana Maria Barbu and Emil Ionescu (abarbu@valhalla.racai.ro). I have also something very sketchy on Romanian clitic doubling in a "semi-draft" paper. > I think it is fairly straightforward to see how c.1995 accounts of clitics > in HPSG could be extended to doubling (that is accounts in terms of > `argument composition' -- i.e., division categories -- implemented via > lexical rules). One would propose a rule such as this: > > [ verb ] [ COMPS L1 + <[1]> + L2 ] > [ COMPS L1 + <[1] [CASE dat]> + L2 ] ==> [ CLTS W U {[1]} ] > [ CLTS W ] > I share Chris intuition that it should be simple to extend the c.1995 accounts to handle clitic doubling. However, his lexical rule should be more complicated; it would be appropriate if clitics in Romanian or Spanish were real agreement markers, but they are not quite. One would need to restrict the application of the rule since there are certain semantic and pragmatic restrictions on which kind of complements can be doubled by clitics.
