A considerable number of German dialects exhibit doubled R-pronouns with pronominal adverbs ( dadamit, dadafür, dadagegen ). At first sight, this type of in situ replication seems to be completely redundant since its occurrence is independent of R-pronoun extraction/movement. The main purpose of this paper is to account for (i) the difference between dialects with regard to replication of R-pronouns and (ii) why an (apparently redundant) process of replication occurs. Following Müller (2000a), who considers R-pronouns to be a repair phenomenon, we present an analysis in the framework of Optimality Theory. We argue that replication of R-pronouns is a consequence of different rankings of universal requirements like e.g. the Inclusiveness Condition , the Lexical Integrity Hypothesis and Antilocality and that the interaction of these constraints results in the occurrence of replication
