| Abstract | Languages differ from one another in the cases which mark arguments, and the lexical and syntactic conditions on specific cases. Languages also differ in how the arguments of a verb are projected syntactically, as subjects or objects or oblique arguments. Verbal agreement is normally associated with subjects, and with nominative case. Linguistic theories which give central importance to a link between the subject grammatical role and nominative case, and verbal agreement, must allow extension of their constitutive principles to accommodate nonnominative arguments with subject properties. For this reason, more importance is given to the basic sentence requirement that there is a subject projected in the clause, specifically the Extended Projection Principle (Chomsky 1995). |
