Description

In recent years, several proposals have appeared that try to model the patterns
of agreement with coordinate noun phrases found in South Slavic Languages. We
investigate agreement in so-called sandwiched configurations, whereby a coordi-
nated noun phrase sits between two agreeing participles. In such cases, the two
participles do not necessarily agree with each other, given a scenario in which the
first and the second conjunct have different phi-features. This means the two par-
ticiples choose their target of agreement independently. We argue the results of
our experimental study favor an approach to agreement that places it partially in
PF.
