Multi-valuation and the Language Level of the Agreement Hierarchy<\/strong><\/p>\n

Zheng Shen (Goethe University Frankfurt)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Multi-valuation involves a probe getting multiple singular values. Nominal right node raising (1) and TP right node raising (2) have been argued to involve multi-valued Ns and Ts respectively.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

(1) This tall and that short\u00a0student(*s)<\/strong>\u00a0are a couple. (multi-valued Ns)<\/p>\n

(2) Sue\u2019s proud that Bill, and Mary\u2019s glad that John,\u00a0have\/has<\/strong>\u00a0traveled to Cameroon. (multi-valued Ts)<\/p>\n

A cross-linguistic survey reveals that three out of the four logically possible patterns of\u00a0multi-valued Ns and Ts are attested as in (3), parallel to the original\u00a0Agreement\u00a0Hierarchy\u00a0observed for hybrid noun agreement (Corbett 1979). I argue that this asymmetry is an instantiation of the Agreement Hierarchy.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Multi-valued Ns – singular,\u00a0Multi-valued Ts – singular: Slovenian.<\/li>\n
  2. Multi-valued Ns – plural,\u00a0Multi-valued Ts – plural: Russian.<\/li>\n
  3. Multi-valued Ns – singular,\u00a0Multi-valued Ts – plural: English.<\/li>\n
  4. Multi-valued Ns – plural,\u00a0Multi-valued Ts – singular: unattested.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I show that recent accounts for the Agreement Hierarchy effects e.g. Smith 2015, Landau 2016, cannot be extended to the multi-valuation pattern in (3) because they deal with the sentence level of the Agreement Hierarchy where the mismatch occur in one sentence as in (4). The multi-valuation agreement hierarchy on the other hand involves a language level of the hierarchy.<\/p>\n
