Dependent-case assignment could be AGREE

Year: 2023

Type: article

Abstract: Preminger (to appear) claims that an AGREE-based theory of case assignment undergenerates because it cannot handle attested dependent-case patterns. This paper argues that dependent-case assignment can in fact be modelled using the operation AGREE, building on independently motivated assumptions. Therefore, an AGREE-based theory of case assignment does not undergenerate.
