Agreement is the grammatical phenomenon in which the form of one
item, such as the noun horses, forces a second item in the sentence, such
as the verb gallop, to appear in a particularform, i.e. gallop must agree
with horses in number. Even though agreement phenomena are some of
the most familiar and well-studied aspects of grammar, there are certain
basic questions that have been rarely asked, let alone answered.
This book develops a theory of the agreement processes found in language,
and considers why verbs agree with subjects in person, adjectives agree in
number and gender but not in person, and nouns do not agree at all.
Explainingthese differences leads to a theory that can be applied to all
parts of speech and to all languages.

"Agreement" is the grammatical phenomenon in which the form of one
item, such as the noun "horses," forces a second item in the sentence, such
as the verb "gallop," to appear in a particularform, i.e. "gallop" must agree
with "horses" in number. Even though agreement phenomena are some of
the most familiar and well-studied aspects of grammar, there are certain
basic questions that have been rarely asked, let alone answered.
This book develops a theory of the agreement processes found in language,
and considers why verbs agree with subjects in person, adjectives agree in
number and gender but not in person, and nouns do not agree at all.
Explainingthese differences leads to a theory that can be applied to all
parts of speech and to all languages.
