The Agreement Hierarchy
If agreement features are optionally referential-semantic or syntactic, the likelihood of semantic agreement increases monotonically as one moves down the following hierarchy of targets:
Attributive > Predicate > Relative pronoun > Personal pronoun<\/dd>\n
Standardized<\/dt>\n
IF personal pronouns can have semantic rather than syntactic agreement in gender or number with a particular noun, THEN relative pronouns, predicative, and attributive constituents can also have semantic agreement with that noun.
IF relative pronouns can have semantic agreement in gender or number with a particular noun, THEN predicative, and attributive constituents can also have semantic agreement with that noun.
IF predicative constituents can have semantic agreement in gender or number with a particular noun, THEN attributive constituents can also have semantic agreement with that noun.<\/dd>\n

Counterexamples<\/dt>\n
Hungarian (Ugric, Uralic) possibly violates this hierarchy, if appositives count as attributes. In Hungarian, appositives (nouns and adjectives) show semantic agreement, whereas predicates do not (Moravcsik 1997).<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
