Clitic: clitic
| Values: | Yes |
Boolean feature of auxiliary verbs. It tells whether the auxiliary form is a clitic (see also the feature Agglutination). Clitic auxiliaries are typically agglutinated to a past participle (with or without a conditional clitic).
This feature is currently used in the PDB and PUD treebanks but not in LFG.
Yes: it is clitic
Clitic auxiliaries are shortened present forms of the auxiliary verb być “to be”: -m, -em “I am”, -ś, -eś “you are (Sing)”, -śmy “we are”, -ście “you are (Plur)”. Note that the conditional morpheme by does not get the feature although it is linguistically a clitic, too.
Examples
- Poprosiliśmy inne kraje o pomoc “We have asked other countries for help”
- Nie chciałbym wywierać na was presji “I hate to put a little pressure on you”
