Why there are no clitics
Synopsis
This academic work challenges the conventional understanding of clitics in linguistics, arguing for their reinterpretation within the framework of generative grammar. Daniel Leonard Everett presents a detailed analysis of morphophonemics and pronoun behavior to support his controversial claim that clitics, as traditionally defined, do not exist. The book offers a rigorous theoretical discussion for scholars and advanced students in the field.
