I use Spanish to propose an analysis that shows when clitic doubling is obligatory, when it is optional and why the optional rule is applied more often than not. As the title of the dissertation suggests, case marking becomes predictable for psych verbs. The dissertation was filed in March, but I do not know if it is already available through University Microfilm International. If some people are interested in looking at the chapter on clitic doubling, please contact me to try to arrange something.
