It has been widely assumed within Principles and Parameters theory that coordinate structures are Conjunction Phrases, with the first conjunct the specifier, the conjunction the head, and the second conjunct the complement. However, this analysis has not been assumed in other frameworks such as Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar, Lexical Functional Grammar and Categorial Grammar. There is considerable evidence that proponents of other frameworks have been right to be sceptical. Among other things, the distribution of coordinate structures, coordinate structures containing more than two conjuncts, and coordinate structures in which the conjuncts are words pose serious problems for the analysis. It has sometimes been suggested that the analysis receives some support from cases of unbalanced coordination where just one conjunct triggers agreement on some external head or bears the case assigned by an external head. However, a close look suggests that there is no support here for the analysis. #

“…39 This possibility was noted in 4 above. For discussion of other languages in which the grammatical subject position may be left empty, see inter alia McCloskey 1996, Alexiadou & Anagnostopoulou 1998, Doron 2000, Roberts 2005, Cable 2012. 40 These arguments equally rule out a clitic doubling analysis.…”

This article reexamines a controversial construction in Acehnese (Lawler 1977 versus Durie 1988. I demonstrate that the construction is a passive, even though a verbal prefix bears the features of the agent rather than the surface subject. I analyze the prefix as a morphological realization of the functional head that introduces the external argument; the features borne by this head are not agreement, but rather interpretable features that restrict the external argument position. Important consequences are that Acehnese does not counterexemplify the universality of grammatical relations (contra Durie 1988 and subsequent), and that Acehnese provides clear morphological evidence for the presence in passives of the functional head that introduces the external argument.*

We will assume here that when singular DPs are coordinated as in (12), the feature value on the &P maximal projection is plural, that is the feature value is resolved for number.…”

Subject marking and preverbal coordination in Sesotho: A perspective from Optimality Theory

Agreement usually operates in a one-to-one fashion where an agreement target is matched to a source of agreement. However, when there is more than one source (for example, in preverbal coordination constructions) agreement mismatches occur. These may be resolved either through partial agreement with only a single source, or by various resolution strategies. Bantu languages with their rich noun-class system are an ideal domain to explore resolution strategies. This paper examines the phenomenon of subject-verb agreement with preverbal coordinated DPs in Sesotho (S33) and outlines an Optimality Theoretic analysis of the various strategies that speakers use to negotiate subject verb agreement.
