Popis | This talk examines whether external sandhi across the enclitic boundary is sensitive to syntactic locality. Focusing on short pronominal forms such as ho ‘him.ACC’, which is an inherent enclitic in Czech, we test whether sandhi applies differently depending on the syntactic relationship between the enclitic and its host. Since ho typically follows the first syntactic constituent, we predict that sandhi applies more robustly with verbal hosts, which form a local syntactic domain with the enclitic, than with non-verbal hosts. |
