Provides an alphabetical listing of over 1500 articles, books, and dissertations that treat in some way the topic of clitics and related matters, e.g. affixes, words, word order, movement, sandhi, etc. Each entry is accompanied by a series of descriptors which give an indication of the content of the item. Nearly one-third of the book is a detailed analytic index, based on the descriptors, which can aid in topical searches for relevant material. Prefatory matter includes an essay "What is a Clitic?" byArnold M. Zwicky, a brief consideration of Jacob Wackernagel, the first author on this topic, by Brian D. Joseph, and information on the format and use of the book itself.
