Descripción
Sumario:The article adopts a contrastive approach to compare Brazilian Portuguese and Italian. The aim is identifying similarities and differences regarding (i) the clitic pronoun paradigm, with particular attention to 3rd person forms, and (ii) the alternative anaphoric object realization variants to clitics, such as the zero pronoun (or empty category) and tonic pronouns. After specifying which properties of the Italian clitic microsystem determine its complexity  from a morphological, syntactic, and pragmatic point of view, we present the forms of 3rd person tonic and clitic pronouns in the accusative and dative cases (and their combinations) both in Italian and Brazilian Portuguese, taking into account different diatopic, diastratic, and diaphasic varieties. We then synthesize the results of the main studies on the variants of anaphoric object realization in Brazilian Portuguese, compared with the corresponding variants available (or not) in Italian. Finally, we reflect on the reasons why the mastery of Italian clitics represents a major acquisition challenge for Brazilian learners.
