Sumario:In this paper we present an analysis of the relationship between the Spanish clitic pronoun system and the Binding Theory. Spanish clitic pronouns have a dual behaviour; in the proclitic case, they behave like independent lexical units, hence proper clitic, but on the enclitic case they are hence morphological affixes (i.e. inflexions). In the first case, the clitics stand for pronouns, therefore it is necessary that the sentences in which they intervene follow the Binding Principles. We present the analysis for reflexives, double clitic and object control verbs constructions.
