Enclitics [Энклитики]

January 2025
 

This entry was published in the Historical Encyclopedia of the Russian language ed. by V. B. Krysko. I follow synctactic and prosodic constraints on the distribution of Old Russian / Old East Slavic clitics, with focus on clustering enclitics and clitic templates. I demonstrate the role of syntactic barriers for the linearization of Old Russian and Middle Russian enclitics and discuss the remnants of Wackernagel'law in Early Modern Russian.
