Abstract:

Agreement plays a central role in modern generative grammar. The present 
collection brings together contributions from experts on various aspects of 
agreement systems in the world's languages in an attempt to formulate 
formal and substantive universals in this domain. All the papers contained 
here focus on the formalization of the mechanisms of agreement and on the 
relationship between case and agreement. All the papers propose solutions 
by seriously examining cross-linguistic data from the usual Germanic and 
Romance languages to Lummi, Greek, Hindi, Turkish and other Turkic 
languages, Japanese, Tsez, Masaai, Russian, Arabic, Basque, Warlpiri, 
Kaltakungu, and Bantu.
