Abstract:

Agreement is a pervasive phenomenon across natural languages. Depending on
one’s definition of what constitutes agreement, it is either found in
virtually every natural language that we know of, or it is at least found in a
great many. Either way, it seems to be a core part of the system that
underpins our syntactic  knowledge. Since the introduction of the operation of
Agree in Chomsky (2000), agreement phenomena and the mechanism that underlies
agreement have garnered a lot of attention in the Minimalist literature and
have received different theoretical treatments at different stages. Since
then, many different phenomena  involving dependencies between elements in
syntax, including movement or not, have been accounted for using Agree. The
mechanism of Agree thus provides a powerful tool to model dependencies between
syntactic elements far beyond φ-feature agreement. The articles collected in
this volume further explore these topics  and contribute to the ongoing
debates surrounding agreement. The authors gathered in this book are
internationally reknown experts in the field of Agreement.
