See also Hagège (1993: 77-88) or Corbett (1994) for more general surveys of agreement, mentioning also a few further instances where targets can hardly be seen as being in direct syntactic construction with controllers, which is usually considered necessary to license agreement. In Ripatransone Italian, nouns (of suitable form, i.e. of the a-declension) do not only agree with subject when direct objects, but also in adverbial relations – and adverbials are somewhat less uncommon agreement targets crosslinguistically. In Archi, the targets are experiencers in the dative case and the controllers are stimuli in the absolutive case; which of these two arguments of verbs of experience and emotion is subject and which is object for other grammatical purposes is another question.
