Empirically, I provide the most in-depth description of monstrous agreement in Telugu to date. To account for monstrous agreement, I propose that embedded pronouns have morphosyntactic features that indicate their roles in both the matrix and embedded speech acts. This means an embedded pronoun can have first-person and third- or second-person features simultaneously. I then propose a precise set of morphosyntactic operations that allow the first-person feature to appear on the verbal agreement but not the pronoun controlling the agreement. I also show that pronouns that have these contradictory features must be bound by an operator to be licensed, and I discuss the nature of these operators and the locality conditions on the binding relationship. The theoretical consequence of this article is that apparently contradictory feature combinations on pronominal elements must be sanctioned by UG.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prof. Troy Messick recently published an article in Syntax titled &#8216;On apparent pronominal feature contradictions: Shifty agreement in Telugu&#8217;.\u00a0 Abstract: This article investigates so-called monstrous agreement\u2014where a non-first-person pronoun can &hellip;
