Proclitics have traditionally been considered either as erratic sloppiness of articulation or as morphologically determined weak forms. It could be shown that the reduction typical of the unstressed position preceding a nucleus is highly regular and further-reaching than so far assumed. A multi-dimensional model of phonology analyzes the proclitic position as a subsystem of the phonology of English with its own inventory of distinctive units and its characteristic dynamic processes of reduction.
