Clitic doubling Encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | Clitic doubling, or pronominal reduplication, in linguistics, is a phenomenon by which clitic pronouns appear in verb phrases together with the full noun phrases that they refer to (as opposed to the cases where such pronouns and full noun phrases are in complementary distribution). |
 | | Clitic doubling is found in many languages, including Albanian, Macedonian, Bulgarian, Greek, Persian, Romanian, Somali, and Spanish; in each case, it follows different rules. |
 | | In the standard Macedonian language, clitic doubling is obligatory with definite direct and indirect objects, which contrasts with standard Bulgarian where clitic doubling is optional. |
