Book Synopsis
A study of the fundamental building blocks that serve to organise natural language systems. The author argues that there are two distinct forms of agreement in linguistic theory: feature compatibility and an abstract syntactic relation. Her primary source of evidence is Chamorro, an Austro-nesian language spoken on Guam and Saipan.
