In this paper we discuss a range of properties which rank Romanian very high in the agreement continuum argued for by Franco (2000). This would allow us to argue that Romanian pronominal clitics are advanced in the process of acquiring the status of verbal inflection. Thus the clitic could be considered an agreement marker which checks the uninterpretable features of the [T+v+V] head. The clitic spells out a D feature and also the phi-features of the T head.
Key words:
clitics, verbal inflection, agreement marker, D feature, phi-features of T
