Description
Summary:
A discussion of Leonard Bloomfield's theory on grammatical agreement examines agreement within Bloomfield's overall scheme of syntactic analysis and relates it to current work in syntax. Bloomfield's three types of agreement (concord, government, and cross-reference) are outlined and compared to the contemporary distinction between pro-drop and non-pro-drop languages. It is concluded that Bloomfield's system distinguishes between pro-drop and non-pro-drop languages by distinguishing between two types of agreement. (MSE)
