  • Abstract
    Pashto, as a native language is spoken by about 28 million people in parts of Pakistan and over 13 million people in the south, east, west and a few Northern provinces of Afghanistan. Pashto allows clitics to be inserted into morphological words. The clitics with this property are called endoclitics.This paper presents an account of Pashto Endoclitics and the unique challenge posed by these clitics. Pashto endoclitics are interesting, because they cannot be completely accounted for by syntax or prosody alone, but transcend different levels of grammar framework. The problem of clitic generation has to deal with syntax, prosody, and discourse constraints.
