Definition of the set AUX* in language-independent terms:1. AUX is a syntactic constituent; 2. AUX contains a specified, i.e. fixed and small, class of elements; 3. These elements occur in a fixed order; 4. AUX must include elements marking tense and/or modality; 5. It may include, as well, elements indicating subject marking, subject agreement, question, evidential, emphasis, aspect, object marking, object agreement, and negation; 6. Insofar as these notional types can be identified across languages, their relative order does not follow from any general principle(s). (Steele et al. 1981:155-156)Presumably “bound” here is meant to subsume “affixed” and “cliticized”.
