Abstract:
This comparative syntactic study claims that agreement is the most central
functional category responsible for licensing predication in finite,
non-finite and small clauses alike. Intriguing syntactic phenomena like
Icelandic infinitival predicates taking non-nominative (quirky) subjects;
psych-impersonal and modal predicates in Italian, Hungarian and Russian;
meteorological predicates, existential clauses, post-verbal and null
subjects in the so-called null-subject VSO languages can all be better
analyzed through a concept of predication that is closely related to AGRP,
manifesting subject-verb agreement.
The overt agreement marking in Hungarian and Portuguese infinitival clauses
further strengthens this view. Obviation and control subjunctive clauses in
the Balkan languages, Welsh finite and non-finite infinitival clauses as
well as case-marked secondary predicates in Icelandic, Slovak, Hungarian,
Russian and Finnish also lend support to an analysis where the [+pred]
feature is checked in AGRP.

This Year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $52,932. This money will go to help keep the
List running by supporting all of our Student Editors for the coming year.
See below for donation instructions, and don't forget to check out our Fund Drive 2006
LINGUIST List Cruise for some Fund Drive fun!
http://linguistlist.org/cruise.html
There are many ways to donate to LINGUIST!
You can donate right now using our secure credit card form.
Alternatively you can also pledge right now and pay later.
For all information on donating and pledging, including information on how to donate by
check, money order, or wire transfer, please visit:

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as such can
receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 501(c) Non Profit
organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations can be offset against
your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more
information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.
Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any gift
you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting your human
resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills in and returns
to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative procedure that doubles the
value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment
to check if your company operates such a program.
Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
