This book discusses a class of Reduced Constructions which exhibit
both mono- and bi-clausal characteristics. In Spanish, as well as
other Romance languages, the most salient mono-clausal
characteristic is the possibility of clitic climbing, i.e. the
possibility of an object clitic attaching to a verb that is higher
(in the appropriate sense) than the verb which selects the object
to which the clitic corresponds. Reduced constructions come in
essentially two varieties: clause reduction (or restructuring)
constructions and union (or causative / perception
verb)constructions. There has been a good deal of work on a number
of aspects of reduced constructions; here the author discusses work
in three areas: the analysis of pronominal clitics, the structure
of clause reduction and union constructions (and how these
treatments interact with the analysis of clitics to yield an
account of clitic climbing), and the encoding of embedded subjects
in union constructions.
