Abstract: This paper reports on some of the phonological properties of Degema, a lan-guage spoken in the south of Nigeria, and focusses on the occurence of endo-clitics, which allow for interesting insights into the interplay of syntax, lexi-con, postlexical phonological rules and prosody. This phenomenon presents a problem for current linguistic analysis, specifically to the concepts of mod-ularity and lexical integrity, and requires a clear positioning of the different modules and the respective ‘strings’. On the basis of the Degema data, this paper proposes an architecture that allows for the analysis of endoclisis, re-spects modularity and keeps the principle of lexical integrity intact. 1
