Abstract
The reviewed book offers an empirically-oriented description of Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian (BCS) clitics, with focus on those features that are subject to parametric microvariation in regional varieties of BCS and across them (p. 5). Descriptive grammars of BCS include a brief mention of BCS proclitics including the conjunctions i, a and the negation ne (Browne & Alt 2004: 15), but the authors of the reviewed book restrict their analysis to BCS clustering enclitics representing two kinds of sentence categories — oblique pronouns and auxiliaries.
