Old Czech, clitics, word order, Latin

This study is devoted to the word order of the short pronominal forms mi,sě, tě ?me.dat, refl. acc, you.acc? dependent on a finite verb in the 1st edition of theOld Czech Bible. The forms studied - permanent enclitics in modern Czech - arenumerous enough so that their analysis is possible (unlike other pronominal encliticforms, i.e., si, ti, ho, mu ?refl.dat, you.dat, he.acc, he.dat?). In the introductionand Section 2, we summarize the results of the previous research dedicated: 1. tothe degree to which the forms sě and tě were enclitics, 2. to the factors that influencethe competition between the post-initial word order and a ?contact? word orderof pronominal (and verbal) enclitics (the competition is documented well into thebeginning of the 20th century in Czech). In the analytical part (Sections 3 and 4), weinvestigate the possible influence of the Latin word order of the Vulgate (ParisianBible) on the word order of the forms examined.
