講演タイトル Issues in the morphosyntax of Tagalog clitics

講演内容

This talk introduces the Tagalog second-position clitics, which can be initially described as a morphosyntactic class of lexical items that appear in a cluster following the first element in a clause. Despite their shared second-position behavior, this class of lexical items is in fact somewhat heterogeneous in a number of respects. For example, they consist of functionally disparate elements: pronouns and various types of adverbs (temporal, focus-sensitive, modal, etc.). Furthermore, there is also variation with respect to their second-position behavior: while some of the clitics are obligatorily second-position, others exhibit different kinds of flexibility in their positioning. Given that Tagalog word order is inherently flexible, such behavior raises questions regarding the morphosyntax of these clitics. How do we determine what is a second-position clitic versus an item that simply happens to be in second position? How should we derive the second-position behavior of these items while also accounting for any alternative placement? We present a detailed overview of the range of behaviors exhibited by the Tagalog second position clitics and discuss their implications with respect to their identification and analysis.
