ABSTRACT
This chapter examines the notion of deep and surface "stressability" as it applies to clitics in varying languages. It deals with the host=clitic group and describe some of the ways that clitics interact with the assignment and adjustment of word and phrasal stress. The chapter considers a different aspect of clitic behavior: that of the relationship between stress and cliticization. It also deals with general properties of clitics and syntactic placement conventions. The chapter looks at just two cases: the underlying tonicity of proclitics in Classical Greek, and the tonicity of enclitics in Modern Turkish. An examination of the phonology of clitics involves looking at both the phonological properties of clitics and the phonological properties of clitic-host-clitic groups. An explanation for the problems of determining underlying tonicity of proclitics in Classical Greek was given in terms of the interaction between the type of clisis and the type of accent assignment in that language.
