MODULARITY AND 2P CLITICS: ARGUMENTS FROM DIGOR OSSETIC

DAVID ERSCHLER

Abstract

Proceedings of IATL 25

Using data from Digor Ossetic, a Northeast Iranian language spoken in the Central Caucasus, I argue for the necessity of post-syntactic lowering operation for the correct analysis of the 2nd position cliticization phenomena. I propose a specific OT-regulated version of the lowering for Digor Ossetic.
