Clitics: Lexicalization Patterns of the So-called 3rd Person Dative

Manzini and Savoia (1999, 2001, 2002, to appear) argue that the basic facts about the clitic string are best accounted for without having recourse to anything but a minimalist syntactic compo- nent, i.e. making no use of a specialized morphological component nor of optimality-type com- parisons betw...
