Concluding remarks. 330 $aAgreement Restrictions in Persian is the first comprehensive attempt to tackle the issue of verbal agreement in Persian from a cross-linguistic point of view. Persian is a field of research within theoretical linguistics that is yet to be sufficiently explored. This book adopts the Minimalist Program of Chomsky (1995-2004) which is at the forefront of recent theories of formal syntax and applies it to the Persian language. Although it is commonly believed that in Persian the verb agrees with the subject, several constructions seem to constrain this obligatory rule. Adopting the framework of Distributed Morphology, the author argues that agreement is in fact obtained with the plural inanimate subjects but a morphological rule may block the result. Unlike the previous analyses which consider the experiencer as the subject of the psychological constructions, the author argues that the psychological state is the subject of the sentence. The findings of this book not only contribute to better understanding of Persian syntax, but also have important implications for grammar theory. 410 0$aIranian studies series (Leiden, Netherlands) 606 $aPersian language$xAgreement 606 $aPersian language$xMorphology 606 $aPersian language$xSyntax 606 $aPersian language$xVerb 610 $aPersian language, syntax, grammar, Chomsky, Distributed Morphology. 615 0$aPersian language$xAgreement. 615 0$aPersian language$xMorphology. 615 0$aPersian language$xSyntax. 615 0$aPersian language$xVerb. 676 $a491.555 700 $aSedighi$b Anousha$f1973-$01635695 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910828316103321 996 $aAgreement restrictions in Persian$93976617 997 $aUNINA
