| Summary: | Word order of Czech enclitics is quite difficult to acquire for students
of Czech as foreign language. While native speakers can “hear” the correct word order, the
foreigner needs a set of rules to guide him. The usual rule for the word order of fixed enclitics seems
to be breached quite often. The article focuses on one type of sentences in which the rule for the
word order of fixed enclitics is violated, namely in sentences which except for a finite verb include
an infinitive and consequently two series of enclitics. The finite verb and the infinitive each syntactically
govern (are governor to) their respective enclitics which in turn are their subjects (recta). If
the infinitive is part of the sentence predicate, the enclitics follow the usual rule of word order unless
the infinitive becomes part of the sentence rhema (comments). In that case its subjects precede
it. If the infinitive is not part of the sentence predicate (in other words it is subject, object or complement),
precedes it then the infinitive subjects follow it. However, if the infinitive is not part of
the sentence predicate, and is placed at the sentence end, then its subjects precede it. If the infinitive
functions as an attribute to a noun, it follows the noun. If the nominal phrase N + infinitive
starts a sentence then the reflexive particle se/si follows the infinitive in 98% of cases. If the enclitic
personal pronouns occur in the reversed order, i.e. Acc.–Dat. order, or two dative enclitics follow
one immediately after another then the enclitics subjects are as close as possible to their regens/
governor. The so-called contact dative, which does not have a governor, is not bound in this way |
