Second-position clitics and the syntax-phonology interface: The case of Ancient Greek
DAVID M. GOLDSTEIN, Dag Trygve Truslew Haug · Proceedings of the International Conference on Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar · 2016
In this paper we discuss second position clitics in Ancient Greek, which show a remarkable ability to break up syntactic constituents. We argue against attempts to capture such data in terms of a mismatch between c-structure yield and surface string and instead propose to enrich c-structure by using a multiple context free grammar with explicit yield functions rather than an ordinary CFG.
