Abstract
The chapter is devoted to the problem of clitic haplology in a comparative Slavic - non-Slavic perspective. The author presents various types of clitics in the Czech language and the rules for their clustering in the sentence (if there are several of them).
The main focus is on the phenomenon of haplology; on the basis of excerpted examples the author shows the elimination of phonetically duplicated units, stating his conclusions in the framework of HPSG grammar. The author contrasts his conclusions from the analysis of the Czech material with examples from Polish, Early Modern German, and Romanian.
The results of the research are compared with excerpts from the Czech National Corpus.
