Clitics: An Introduction
... In some respects we’ve written this in bad faith. There’s an important sense in which we don’t actually believe in the existence of clitics. However, we do believe that it’s worthwhile to study in great detail the kinds of properties that have been ascribed to clitics. In this way we gain a much bet ...

On the one hand, both adverbs and prepositions are uninflected, with adverbs differing from prepositions in having phrasal status. ...
