nonesuch 86

Posted in Raritätenkabinett

nonesuch 86: determiners and modifiers agreeing in all relevant agreement categories (gender, number, case) with only one of two or more conjoined nouns sharing these determiners and modifiers (rather than with both, relying on some resolution strategy in case of conflicting agreement categories), the agreed-with noun being the last (rather than the first) as well as the most distant conjunct (with nouns coming after determiners and modifiers)
