Morphophonological evidence against deficiency

This chapter sets out to elaborate on the correlation between the inner structure of pronouns and morphophonological properties with the intent of challenging the received view that clitics have a deficient inner structure. The chapter shows that in many languages the structure of clitics is at least as complex as (if not more complex than) the structure of strong pronouns. Moreover, it argues that morphophonological phenomena such as stress shift, allomorphy, and suppletion often result from morphophonological conditions (some of which are not productive any more) and do not provide solid evidence in support of the claim that clitics are deficient.
