Introduction; 1.1 Background: Object clitics and functional heads; 1.2 Variation in object clitic placement; 1.3 Possible approaches to the question; 2. Low OCL placement dialects (the "Borgomanerese-type" language) ; 2.1 OCL placement in simple tense clauses in Northeast Piedmont |

2.1.1 An up-close look at one of these varieties: Borgomanerese simple tense clauses2.2 OCL placement in compound tense clauses in Borgomanerese-type varieties and in Piedmontese; 3. A first attempt at an approach to the question of variation in OCL placement (the Missing-Head Hypothesis); 3.1 Problems with the Missing-Head Hypothesis; 3.1.1 Cross-linguistic entailment; 3.1.2 Cross-linguistic entailment unidirectional; 3.1.3 Predictions of Missing-Head Hypothesis; 4. The feature content hypothesis: All languages have the same potential OCL adjunction sites |

4.1 Back to the cross-linguistic generalization4.2 Eligibility of a particular functional head for OCL adjunction: The feature content hypothesis; 4.2.1 Simple tense clauses; 4.2.2 Compound tense clauses and the uni-directional entailment; 4.2.2.1 Borgomanerese compound tense clauses. As discussed earlier, following Kayne (1993), Rizzi (2000), and Tortora (2010), I take compound tense clauses to be "lightly" bi-clausal, whereby the participial clause has a bit of functional architecture pro |

4.2.2.4 Absolute Small Clauses (ASCs). Although Italian does not allow enclisis on past participles in the compound tenses, it is well known that it requires enclisis on participles in Absolute Small Clauses (Belletti 1990):4.2.2.5 Romance Imperatives. It is also well known that all Romance ℗Ưbehaves like Borgomanerese-type languages when it comes to Imperatives. That is, ℗ƯRomance Imperatives robustly exhibit OCL enclisis:; 5. Another prediction made by Feature Spreading/Feature Content Hypotheses for causatives; 5.1 Obligatory clitic climbing in Romance Causatives |
| Summary |
This investigation constitutes a quantitative variationist approach toward Spanish in contact with Catalan in Barcelona, Spain. It seeks to empirically measure concrete usage patterns of two phonetic variants, [9±] and [z], in the Spanish of Catalan-Spanish bilinguals, as well as establish the extent to which both variants are conditioned by linguistic factors and Catalan dominance. The careful Spanish speech of 20 Barcelonan females (ages 18-27) was elicited through a word-reading task. Goldvarb binomial logistic regression analyses revealed that sensitivity to linguistic factors varied accord |
