Abstract

The paper treats the problem of clitic ordering in Slovene, Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian and other Slavic languages, attempting to find an underlying mechanism for the progression of change. The author dis­cusses grammaticalization and lexicalization as motivations for the progression. The work, which is the authors last, remains unfinished.
