主体政治在法国的地位一直备受争议（Kayne 1975, Rizzi 1986, Roberge 1990, Auger 1994b, Miller & Sag 1997, De Cat 2007b，以及许多其他人）。法语主词的分布特性使得Kayne（1975）、Rizzi（1986）等人将其分析为占据规范主词位置的承载论点的要素，仅在音系层面对动词进行批判。虽然这一假说得到了广泛的支持，但越来越多的证据表明，它未能捕捉到法语口语方言/语域中主语-clitic用法的模式（Roberge 1990, Auger 1994, Zribi-Hertz 1994, Miller & Sag 1997）。利用韵律和语料库分析、说话人判断和跨语言类型学的新证据，本文认为(i)欧洲口语法语与标准法语的差异影响了如何最好地分析主语状语，更具体地说（ii）欧洲口语法语的主语状语是词缀一致标记，而不是语音状语。
The status of subject clitics in French has been heavily debated (Kayne 1975, Rizzi 1986, Roberge 1990, Auger 1994b, Miller & Sag 1997, De Cat 2007b, and many others). Distributional properties of French subject clitics have led Kayne (1975), Rizzi (1986), and others to analyze them as argument-bearing elements occupying canonical subject position, cliticizing to the verb only at the level of the phonology. While this hypothesis enjoys a wide following, a growing body of evidence suggests that it fails to capture patterns of subject-clitic use in colloquial French dialects/registers (Roberge 1990, Auger 1994b, Zribi-Hertz 1994, Miller & Sag 1997). Using new evidence from prosodic and corpus analyses, speaker judgments, and crosslinguistic typology, this article argues that (i) European Colloquial French exhibits differences from Standard French that impact how subject clitics are best analyzed, and more specifically (ii) subject clitics in European Colloquial French are affixal agreement markers, not phonological clitic arguments.
