About this book

How do words acquire agreement and case, and what limits the grammatical relationships between them? This collection examines these questions through studies of syntactic dependencies across several languages.

Chapters address long-distance agreement, passives, progressive constructions, relative clauses, possessives and extraction from noun phrases. Analyses of Spanish, Romanian, Polish, Barese, Portuguese and French connect detailed examples with competing accounts of the operation Agree. This complete original edited volume retains its diagrams, linguistic examples, references and index.
