The theoretical domain of investigation of this volume is the nature
of the syntax-phonology interface. The empirical domain of
investigation is cliticization in South Slavic. The volume also
examines several phenomena that raise theoretical issues related to
those involved in South Slavic cliticization, namely, multiple
wh-fronting in Slavic and Romanian, Germanic V-2, object shift and
stylistic fronting in Scandinavian, and negation in Romance.

The central theoretical questions considered in the volume are how
syntax and phonology interact with each other and whether PF can
affect word order. It is argued that PF does affect word order, but
not through actual PF movement.

The volume makes new proposals concerning the structural
representation of clitics and the nature of clitic clustering. It also
provides an account of the second position effect and teases apart the
role of syntax and phonology in cliticization and the second position
phenomenon. For advanced students and researchers in general
linguistics.
