| Summary: | In European Portuguese the unmarked pattern of clitic placement in finite
sentences is enclisis, proclisis occurring under the local scope of specific items, namely
overt CPs or items with negative, quantificational and focus content. In this study we will
propose an analysis of proclisis in sentence coordination, an issue that only recently has
received some attention in the field (Martins 2013, Matos e Colaço 2013). We will claim
that proclisis in coordination may be induced either by the features of some single and
correlative conjunctions, or by the discourse value of some correlative coordinate structures.
Proclisis in coordination may also occur with a conjunction that is not a proclisis
inducer, if this one is itself under the scope of a proclisis trigger. This fact suggests that
there are contexts of long-distance proclisis in European Portuguese. However, we will
show that all these cases may be subsumed under local proclisis, taking into account
the properties of Conj as an underspecified category that, by Agree, shares the categorial
nature of its specifier.The optionality of proclisis in long-distance contexts may also be
explained. In fact, this optionality is only apparent and is an effect of the sentential level
involved in coordination. |
