<p>from Utrecht Lexicon of Linguistics</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>In generative syntax, '''clitic climbing''' is a movement of a [[clitic]] out of its local domain.<br /> <br /> ===Examples===<br /> As in (ii):<br /> <br /> :{|<br /> |-<br /> |(i)||''Gianni''||''vuole''||''vederli''|| <br /> |- <br /> | ||Gianni||wants||see-them||<br /> |-<br /> |} <br /> <br /> :{|<br /> |-<br /> |(ii)||''Gianni''||''li''||''vuole''||''vedere|| <br /> |- <br /> | ||Gianni||them||-wants||see||<br /> |-<br /> |} <br /> <br /> In (i) the [[clitic]] ''li'' is in its normal position, cliticized on the [[infinitive]]. In (ii) the [[clitic]] is moved out of the domain of the infinitive and cliticized on the matrix verb ''vuole''. <br /> <br /> ===Comments===<br /> This phenomenon is also common in other Romance languages, but not in French. Clitic Climbing facts have led to the assumption that certain verbs, like ''volere'' in Italian, trigger [[Restructuring]].<br /> <br /> ===Link===<br /> [http://www2.let.uu.nl/UiL-OTS/Lexicon/zoek.pl?lemma=Clitic+Climbing&amp;lemmacode=874 Utrecht Lexicon of Linguistics] <br /> <br /> ===References===<br /> *Kayne, R. 1989.
