On the nature of Romanian pronominal clitics
On the nature of Romanian pronominal clitics

Summary/Abstract: In the present article we present a range of properties which rank Romanian very high in the agreement continuum argued for by Franco (2000). This would entitle us to maintain that Romanian pronominal clitics are very advanced in the process of acquiring the status of verbal inflection. Thus the clitic could be considered an agreement marker which checks the uniterpretable features of the [T+v+V] head. (the clitic spells out a D feature and also φ-features of the T head, which is thus [Cl(D, φ ) + T]T0).
