Contrary to the traditional clitic analysis of Old English personal pronouns, textual investigation reveals that most of their positions cannot be canonical. The assumption is therefore denied that personal pronouns in Old English undergo an independent operation of cliticization to keep the V-2 constraint. The only operation unique to personal pronouns is subsumed into middle-distance scrambling by which object pronouns move into a specifier of TP for definiteness effect.
