What is Resumptive Structures in Jordanian Arabic about?

1. There are two types of resumptive pronouns in Jordanian Arabic - clitics and epithets. 2. Epithets, unlike clitics, exhibit "Q-phobia" and cannot stand alone when linked to a quantifier. For example, an epithet cannot be the complement of a quantifier-headed phrase. 3. However, there is one exception - when an epithet is separated from a quantifier by an island boundary, the constraints disappear and the epithet can stand alone. This suggests the island provides some security for the epithet.
