Abstract
ABSTRACT This commentary focuses on clitics in Spanish and discusses two recent studies that report on clitics in language contact situations: Mayer and Sánchez (2019) on clitics in bilingual Quechua-Spanish and bilingual Shipibo-Spanish varieties, and Jiménez-Gaspar, Pires, and Guijarro-Fuentes (2020) on clitics in Catalan and Spanish in contact. We briefly discuss the properties of clitics in Spanish, followed by their role in language variation and contact (i.e. language contact, heritage Spanish, and second language learning). We then comment on the two papers on clitics in language contact, which show how the outcomes of language contact vary across language pairings and contact situations.
