Resum:

The aim of this talk is to provide a descriptive and formal approach to linguistic variation regarding the different Clitic Climbing (CC) patterns attested in Catalan varieties and how CC correlates with respect to restructuring and control. The data collected support two major claims: i) the absence of CC does not entail the absence of restructuring not only in those languages in which the phenomenon displays an optional nature but also in those languages in which CC is ruled out; ii) restructuring is universal; what differentiates languages is the way in which it becomes visible (i.e. the set of transparency phenomena).

The analysis presented here locates the variation regarding the different CC patterns on the nature of embedded v*. Ultimately, our proposal leads to a redefinition of restructuring.
