... 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 ...

... The term “adverb” refers to a specific word class or lexical category and therefore contrasts with other word classes, such as nouns, adjectives, verbs, or prepositions. On the one hand, both adverbs and prepositions are uninflected, with adverbs differing from prepositions in having phrasal status. ...

Spelling is generally rejected as a criterion of compoundhood in English because the spelling of compounds is so inconsistent.2 Although there might seem to be a tendency for institutionalized compounds to be spelle ...
