An excerpt from the INTRODUCTION.
I. Definition of Title.
The title of this work,
Object-Pronouns in Dependent Clauses: A Study in Old Spanish Word-Order
, is perhaps too inclusive. The investigation concerns itself only with the phenomenon which I shall call interpolation. Throughout this study, interpolation will be used to mean the interpolation, between an unstressed object-pronoun and its following governing verb, of another word or other words, not unstressed object-pronouns in similar construction. In Old Spanish this phenomenon is almost without exception confined to dependent clauses, i.e., clauses that begin with a subordinating conjunction, a relative pronoun, or a relative adverb with conjunctional force.
II. Previous Notices Of Interpolation.
Interpolation is merely mentioned by Diez, but with no attempt to determine the conditions of its occurrence. I find the next reference in Reinhardstoettner's Grammatik der portugiesischen Sprache (1878), s. 391.1 Paul Foerster, in his Spanische Sprachlehre (1880) merely distinguishes interpolation as of two sorts, the first with the negative particle, the second with other words.
