3.7. Clitics conjoined with PP

The conjunction of a clitic and a PP, such as the one illustrated in (1), is treated as a case of conjunction of unlike categories and not as a case of ellipsis.

(1) Adoro-te e à Maria.

By default, the category enclosing the entire conjunction structure is that of the first conjunct, which in this case corresponds to an NP. To deal with this structure and clitic doubling in a similar way, CONJP is labelled with the dash tag -PRN.
