Abstract

The simultaneously phonological and syntactic grammar of second position clitics is an instance of the broader problem of applying constraints across multiple levels of linguistic analysis. Syntax frameworks extended with simple tree transductions can make efficient use of these necessary additional forms of structure. An analysis of Sahidic Coptic second position clitics in a context-free grammar extended by a monadic second-order transduction exemplifies this approach.
