The goal of this squib is to account for the puzzling positional distribution of the Armenian auxiliary clitic in the focus-neutral context. We propose that the auxiliary is a case of a second position clitic in the vP domain, akin to the second position phenomena observed across languages in the CP domain. As such, we draw heavily on the parallel between CP and vP in recent syntactic literature, in particular their status as phases in the minimalist framework (e.g. Chomsky 2001).
