Abstract
The thesis describes the undocumented Ligurian dialect spoken in the village of Barchi (Italy), focussing on pronominal and adverbial clitics. Clitics show in Barchi some of the same phenomena present in other Romance languages, such as high degree of selection of the host and possibility to attach to the host as enclitic. Moreover, the thesis describes other properties of clitics, such as clitic doubling of subject clitics of second and third persons and the strong idiomatic use of clitics in Barchi dialect.
