Definition
a strategy found with auxiliary constructions in which the auxiliary - element expressing TAMP is morphologically combined with the subject phrase, usually a subject pronoun, rather than with the verb of the auxiliary construction. Example: English I'll think about it, the future auxiliary will is reduced and combined morphologically with the subject pronoun I. (Section 13.4)
