Abstract
The systems of clitics in Bulgarian and Czech are compared. Both phonological (prosodic) and syntactic features are taken into consideration to capture the main differences between Czech, which is - mainly - a Wackernagel-position language, and Bulgarian, which is - basically - verb-adjacent.
The theoretical framework for the comparison is dependency syntax. The study is divided into four parts.
In Part I some open theoretical questions concerning the concept of clitics as well as of their generál properties were discussed; in Part II the autor described the main distribution rules of clitics in Bulgarian as compared to Czech; Part III deals with more speciál cases of placement of clitics in both languages, and finally, in Part IV some typical cases "on the border" between afixes and clitics will be mentioned.
