Abstract
This paper revisits placement of Bulgarian clitics—namely the pronominals, the auxiliaries, the future tense particle šte, and the question (and focus) particle li. The pronominal and Aux clitics are argued to move to the end of the nearest prosodic word one by one through Prosodic Inversion, modifying the account from Franks (2006). I update a proposal by Rudin et al. (1999) for (non-focus) li, adopting V to C movement. The negation particle ne is shown to block V to C movement, so Prosodic Inversion must step in. The future šte, previously disregarded in the literature, complicates the V to C movement analysis. Possibilities and implications of this data are discussed. Finally, I propose that puzzling data with focus li involves syntactic phrasal movement by default, but I suggest that Prosodic Inversion may be used as a repair mechanism in case the focus is not a phrase.
