Definitions

  1. a word that is treated in pronunciation as forming a part of a neighboring word and that is often unaccented or contracted.

Word origin

From Ancient Greek κλιτικός (klitikós, “inflexional”).

Used in a sentence

  • In fact, even within the northern Italian dialects, subject clitics do not constitute a syntactically uniform class, as has been convincingly argued in Poletto's work.
  • Here, we will see that they also have problems with overt pronouns, especially object clitics, whose emergence is more delayed than in typically developing children.
