Atkan Aleut “unclitic” pronouns and definiteness

A multimodular analysis

Anthony C. Woodbury

Atkan Aleut has non-subject pronominals that are attracted to a position just before the verb but do not fuse with it. This clitic like behavior, termed unclitic, is modeled using a version of the automodular or autolexical analysis proposed by Sadock (1991). The unclitic pattern is proposed as the explanation for a set of apparent counterexamples in the puzzling word-order-and-‘definiteness’ paradigms first presented by Bergsland & Dirks (1981: 31–33) and commented on by Fortescue (1987), Leer (1988), and Sadock (2009)
