About the use of enclisis on subordinated structures in Old Portuguese

Sumario:In this article we assume the proposal of Rizzi (1997), and also Benincà and Poletto (2004), about the left periphery cartography, to explain the enclisis’ fenomenon on subordinated structures in Old Portuguese. And we try to show that the skeleton of the left periphery allows us to understand not only the case of enclisis on subordinated structures, but also the interpolation of constituents between the clitic and the verb. According to our proposal the traces of FIN head are relevants to verb movement to this position because Old Portuguese is a V2 sistem. In this sistem, enclisis results whenever V checks its traces in FIN and there isn ?t on structure any constituent focused or themed that will attract the clitic to its head. When the recomplementation’s construction realizes both functional heads – FORCE and FIN – with ‘que’, enclisis is not possible. The interpolation results of a syncretic projection of FORCE/FIN, with the clític in CliticP, between FIN e TP.KEYWORDS: Enclisis on subordenated structures. Recomplementation.
