Abstract:

The status of agreement is a core issue in current morphological andsyntactic theory. The collection of papers in this volume focuses onimportant issues, such as the nature of the relation between syntax andmorphology in determining agreement relations; whether and which syntacticconfigurations are relevant for determining agreement; the relevance ofverbal agreement for the purposes of EPP; the inquiry into the existence ofconnections between verbal and DP-internal agreement; on the morphologicaland syntactic distinction of person, number and gender agreement; how andwhy AGREE and Spec,head relations trigger different agreement effects; andthe type of relation that exists between head-movement and morphologicalagreement. The data collected come from a wide variety of languages and thestudies presented discuss innovative and thought-provoking ideas fordealing with agreement phenomena.
