Abstract
This paper establishes the generalization that whenever agreement with the finite verb is controlled by a constituent that is not in a Spec-Head relation with the inflectional head of the clause, this agreement cannot affect . A syntactic representation for person inside the noun phrase and on the clausal spine is proposed which, in conjunction with the workings of agreement and concord, accommodates this empirical generalization and derives Baker's Structural Condition on Person Agreement. The proposal also provides an explanation for the φ-feature agreement facts of specificational copular sentences. The paper places its findings on person vs. number agreement in the context of recent psycho- and neuro-linguistic investigation of number/person dissociation.
