If this means that ”references follow later,” goes with it, so that the sentence can be rewritten can follow the references. This is a use of the arrangement-expressing BE TO (see 119. BE before a verb ”to,” #4). Starting with there is probably to avoid a missing Nov theme (see 161. Special uses of ”There” phrases). The first two here can be easily corrected by deleting the preposition (for more information on –ing, see 73. Prepositions for Saying How). An alternative correction in (j) is to add a noun or a new pronoun that can serve as a subject, for example. B the weather or it.

The addition is also the way to correct (k) – z.B housing – although this is only before the preposition. We have now seen what gender the participants used in pluralistic agreement with associated noun phrases. This section presents the results for the sex used for the use of individual agreement forms. Table 6 shows the frequency of the three sexes for the different forms of concordance in the survey results, categorized by sex combination of the new associated phrases.12 The most common sexual value for each combination is shaded, and the sex of the second conjunction is fat. The idea of a conceptual hierarchy like (16) is that grammatical phenomena can be limited or influenced. Some generalizations may therefore apply to all cases above a certain reference point (Dahl 2000: 99). Example (8) a z.B. a clear cut-off point: Semantic resolution is only available with associated Nov phrases that contain sexist speakers. Hierarchies can also be considered a continuum (Dahl 2000: 99). We can therefore assume that a certain model of concordance may be preferred for human speakers.

B, but that it is still used to a lesser extent for objects that can be counted or for countless abstract nouns. However, as we have seen, the calculation that we would like to see done in Icelandic, in accordance with gender resolution rules, does not always take place. In the survey response, which is illustrated in (30), we find a standard castrian example with two male conjunctors where one might have expected a male plural: neither Edna`s neighbors nor her husband agree with their decision. Clauses, phrases and verbs are either finished or not finished. In the next section, I will outline the theoretical context of this study. Strategies to agree with related Nov rates are discussed with regard to the aforementioned Icelandic strategies, the two typological hierarchies on which this research is based are put in place and their importance for the allocation and analysis of the agree options presented. In Section 3, I will describe the agreement form investigation that was designed and Section 4 presents the results of this survey. In Section 5, I discuss data on research objectives, outline some of the strange patterns and outline the agreements reached by Icelandic critics on predictive and pronomic coherence with interconnected nov-phrases.

The document concludes with a conclusion. Lorimor (2007) studied agreement with corresponding substantive sentences in English by name type and found a semantic effect on agreement decisions, both in a corpus study and in contractual production experiments.
