Abstract:

This book explores unusual patterns of agreement, one of the most
intriguing and theoretically challenging aspects of human language.
Agreement is typically thought to reflect a structural relationship
between a verb and its arguments within the clause, and all major
theories of agreement have been developed with the centrality of this
relationship in mind. But beyond the verb, items belonging to
practically every other part of speech have been found to function as
agreement targets, including adpositions, adverbs, converbs, nouns,
pronouns, complementizers, and other conjunctions. Data on these
targets provide rich insights into the structural domains in which
agreement operates, demonstrating that unusual targets can be
associated with unexpected domains that are independent of the
agreement domain of the verb.

Following an introduction to the typology of unusual targets and
unexpected domains across the world's languages, the chapters in this
volume provide detailed treatments of a wide range of rare and complex
agreement phenomena in seven languages, belonging to five different
language families of Eurasia and the Pacific. The contributions are
all based on novel data collected by the authors, which detail the
syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic properties of agreement on
non-verbal targets within the clause.
