Even though agreement phenomena are some of the most familiar and well-studied aspects of grammar, there are certain basic questions that have rarely been asked, let alone answered. This book develops a theory of the agreement processes found in language, and considers why verbs agree with subjects in person, adjectives agree in number and gender but not person, and nouns do not agree at all. Explaining these differences leads to a theory that can be applied to all parts of speech and to all languages. 410 0$aCambridge studies in linguistics ;$v115. 517 3 $aThe Syntax of Agreement & Concord 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general$xAgreement 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general$xAgreement. 676 $a415 686 $a17.52$2bcl 700 $aBaker$b Mark C.$0169262 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784513903321 996 $aThe syntax of agreement and concord$93829553 997 $aUNINA
