New page

'''Agreement''' refers to a widespread syntactic situation in which a [[target]] element agrees with a [[controller]] element in some [[morphosyntactic feature]].

::* ''"The term ' 'agreement' ' commonly refers to some systematic covariance between a semantic or formal property of one element and a formal property of another."'' (Steele 1978:610)

===Examples===

*Agreement of [[article]] and [[adjective]] with [[noun]] in [[number]] and [[gender (morphology)|gender]]:

Spanish ''l-a casa nuev-a'' 'the new house', ''el libro nuev-o'' 'the new book', ''l-as casas nuev-as'' 'the new houses', ''l-os libros nuev-os'' 'the new books'

*Agreement of [[verb]] with [[subject]] noun phrase:

German ''ich kauf-e'' 'I buy', ''du kauf-st'' 'you(SG) buy', ''er kauf-t'' 'he buys', ''wir kauf-en'' 'we buy', ''ihr kauf-t'' 'you(PL) buy', ''sie kauf-en'' 'they buy'

===Synonyms===

* [[concord]] (but this term is often differentiated from agreement in various ways)
* [[congruence]] (this term is very rare in English, but German [[Kongruenz]] is the standard term for agreement)

===Subtypes===

*[[anaphoric agreement]], [[grammatical agreement]]
*[[alliterative agreement]]
*[[back agreement]]
*[[rich agreement]]

+=== Syntax ===
+Recently, it has been proposed that agreement is the relation between a specific head [[AGR]] and its [[specifier]] (= [[specifier-head agreement]]). Subject-verb agreement is then reduced to agreement between AGR, which is a [[functional projection]] of the agreeing verb, and the element (the subject) in the specifier position of the AGRP. Likewise, assignment of [[structural Case]] is reduced to spec,head agreement. <br />
