Stressed Clitic Pronouns in Two Spanish Varieties: A perception study

Clitic elements are prosodically attached to another phonological word. As such, they do not carry their own stress. In general, Spanish non-prepositional object pronouns (e.g. me/te/le/lo/se) meet the definition of clitic, whether preposed (proclitic) or postposed (enclitic) to the verb. Neverthele...
