This paper puts forward a novel account of the clitic pronoun en in French. It is shown that previous analyses cannot account for the rich nominal structure involved in en-pronominalization, in particular structures with stranded DP-internal remnants. The analysis proposed sees en-pronominalization as a hybrid between pronominalization and ellipsis, which includes DP-internal focus movement for the stranded remnants. It will be argued that en itself is best analyzed as being derived from an nP within the DP, even when it seemingly pronominalizes the entire DP. Following Cinque (2010), the analysis presented here also assumes that only modifiers of the indirect kind can be stranded by en-pronominalization.

法语代词 EN* 的混合分析

本文对法语中的附着代词en提出了一种新颖的描述。结果表明，先前的分析无法解释en代词化中涉及的丰富的名义结构，特别是具有搁浅 DP 内部残余的结构。提出的分析将en代词化视为代词化和省略号之间的混合体，其中包括搁浅残余物的 DP 内部焦点移动。有人认为，en本身最好被分析为源自DP 内的n P，即使它看起来使整个 DP 代词化。继 Cinque (2010) 之后，这里提出的分析还假设只有间接类型的修饰语才能因en代词化而陷入困境。
