Abstract The traditional philological literature on Sardinian claims that Sardinian has a “partitive object” construction, arguing that it is either inherited from Latin or due to Catalan influence. Under closer examination, however, the construction at issue turns out to be a common Romance clitic right dislocation (CLRD) structure involving the preposition de and a partitive clitic. The article presents the syntactic distribution of this Sardinian construction and its clitic left dislocation (CLLD) counterpart and compares it to similar structures in French, Catalan, and Italian. The result is that the structure appears in all these languages when a bare NP is dislocated, including split-QP/NumP/NP constructions: In all these languages, the dislocated indefinite NP is marked by de/di and a partitive clitic (Sardinian nde, French en, Italian ne, Catalan en/ne) shows up. The article ends with a Minimalist analysis, in which clitics are the spell-out of a probe in v that triggers movement of a complement to the specifier of vP to overcome a phase boundary. In this account, a probe that targets indefinite NPs assigns partitive case, while the probe itself is spelled out as a partitive clitic. While taking Sardinian as a starting point, the article bears on more general issues and unveils a common mechanism in one group of Romance languages.

关于撒丁岛的“局部性脱臼”：浪漫和极简主义的观点

摘要关于撒丁岛的传统语言文献声称，撒丁岛具有“参与对象”的构造，理由是撒丁岛是拉丁语的继承者或加泰罗尼亚语的影响。但是，在更仔细的研究中，所讨论的结构竟然是一种常见的罗曼语气候权错位（CLRD）结构，其中包含介词de和部分性气候。本文介绍了此撒丁岛结构及其语法左旋位错（CLLD）的句法分布，并将其与法语，加泰罗尼亚语和意大利语中的类似结构进行了比较。结果是，当裸露的NP移位时，结构在所有这些语言中都会出现，包括split-QP / NumP / NP构造：在所有这些语言中，错位的不确定NP都由de / di和一个局部气候（Sardinian nde ，法语en，意大利语ne，加泰罗尼亚语（ne / ne）出现。本文以极简主义分析结尾，其中，气候是v探针的拼写，触发vP的指定符的补码运动以克服相位边界。在这种情况下，以不确定的NP为目标的探针会分配有区分的情况，而探针本身则被说明为有区别的气候。在以撒丁岛为起点的同时，本文讨论了更普遍的问题，并揭示了一组浪漫语言的通用机制。
