In Romance, enclisis in tensed clauses correlates with the possibility of VPdeletion. To accountfor thisfact, it is hypothesized that both phenomena emerge in languages where the functional category Sigmaf ) — the locus for Affirmation/Negation — has strong V-features (Old Romance, Modern Portuguese and Modern Galician), whereas such phenomena are absentfrom languages where Σ has weak V-features (Modern Spanish, Modern Catalan, Modern Italian and Modern French). The null VP in the VP-deletion construction is licensed in a Spec-head type relation to strong Σ, Σ containing V-features. Enclisis is the outcome ofverb movement to Σ in the overt syntax, clitics being left-adjoined to AgrSubj (which Σ dominates); verb movement in the overt syntax only takes place when the V-features ο/Σ are strong.
