Lack of Iteration: Accusative clitic doubling, participial absolutes and have + agreeing participles

The goal ofthis paper is to present an analysis ofaccusative clitic doubling that can account for some of its traditional problems and also for a new problem related to its aspectual properties. The analysis I will be proposing is based on the assumption that the syntax of direct arguments crucially affects the aspect of a predicate since it crucially affects what is atAgrO by the time the terminativity of the VP is calculated.
