Clausal and Nominal Agreement in Russian

Описание:
This book unifies the analysis of morphosyntactic agreement patterns of the clause and the noun phrase, focusing empirically on the syntax of Russian. Here, the author develops a Minimalist analysis modifying the Agree and Probe-Goal approach and shows that many long-standing issues regarding agreement of formal features and Case can be accounted for without resort to certain stipulations. In particular, this book proposes that clausal agreement reflects the features of the constituents of a subject noun phrase and proposes locality constraints on this agreement operation. Such a unified account of clausal and nominal feature agreement has been lacking in many proposals that consider the data in only one, or the other, domain. This book contributes to the theoretical understanding of agreement phenomena in both morphologically rich agreement languages such as Russian and less inflected languages such as English.Похожие книги
