Sentence Clitics

Sentence Clitics is a syntactic phenomenon in Old Norse grammar whereby certain invariant grammatical elements, occupying a fixed second-position in the clause according to Wackernagel’s Law, are phonologically dependent on the preceding prosodic word while serving distinct grammatical or pragmatic functions such as emphasis, interrogation, or discourse coherence.
