abstract
It has been observed that clitics play a significant role in the grammar of Degema. This is noted and discussed in Kari (1995a; 1995b; 1997). However, the extent of their participation in the grammar has not yet been fully investigated. This paper goes beyond what has been done so far on clitics, and discusses such grammatical properties of clitics as their interaction with argument structure of verbs, agreement, and their combination with tone to distinguish certain types of sentences. The paper is divided into three sections. Section 1 is the introduction, where some definitions of clitics are provided and discussed; section 2, which is the main thrust of the paper, discusses the grammar of clitics -- proclitics and enclitics, while section 3 is the conclusion.
