Coordination And Gender Agreement In Kina Rutul
Abstract
This paper discusses the rules of agreement with a conjoined NP in Kina Rutul (Lezgic, East Caucasian). The study is based on field data. There are two possible strategies of agreement with a conjoined controller, semantic and syntactic. Rutul data shows elements of both strategies. An elicitation experiment revealed considerable variation among consultants, challenging the analysis of these constructions.
