This volume constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Second International Conference on Agreement Technologies, AT 2013, held in Beijing, China, in August 2013. The 15 revised full papers presented together with two invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions and focus on topics such as semantic technologies, normative multiagent systems, virtual organisations and electronic institutions, argumentation and negotiation, trust and reputation, applications of agreement technologies, agreement technologies architectures, environments and methodologies, as well as interdisciplinary foundations of agreement technologies.

An Areal Typology of Agreement Systems


Free Download Ranko Matasović, "An Areal Typology of Agreement Systems"
English | 2018 | ISBN: 1108413080, 1108420974 | PDF | pages: 190 | 4.0 mb
Surveying over 300 languages, this typological study presents new theoretical insights into the nature of agreement, as well as empirical findings about the distribution of agreement patterns in the world’s languages. Focussing primarily on agreement in gender, number and person, but with reference to agreement in other smaller categories, Ranko Matasović aims to discover which patterns of agreement are widespread and common in languages, and which are rather limited in their distribution. He sheds new light on a range of important theoretical questions such as what agreement actually is, what areal, typological and genetic patterns exist across agreement systems, and what problems in the analysis of agreement remain unresolved.

The Special Interrogation Group (SIG) was the most exceptional of Special Forces. Created to raid behind enemy lines, posing as German troops, the SIG was largely made up of German Jews who were all too aware of the dangers they faced-capture meant either death or deportation to a concentration camp.

Person, Case, and Agreement The Morphosyntax of Inverse Agreement and Global Case Splits


Free Download Andras Barany, "Person, Case, and Agreement: The Morphosyntax of Inverse Agreement and Global Case Splits "
English | ISBN: 0198804180 | 2018 | 240 pages | PDF | 2 MB
This book provides both language-specific and cross-linguistic comparative analyses of phenomena relating to person, case and case-marking, and agreement. It offers an explicit and detailed analysis of differential object marking in Hungarian, and shows that the same general type of analysis can account for related phenomena in unrelated languages such as Kashmiri and Sahaptin. In Hungarian, the person of both the subject and the object determines verbal morphology, while in Kashmiri and Sahaptin, person determines object case-marking and subject case-marking, respectively. Andras Barany adopts broadly the same analysis for these three languages, focusing on how person and agreement influence case-marking. In contrast, the final chapters examine how case-marking influences agreement and show how to account for both orders of interaction. Finally, the author discusses typological generalizations based on the interaction of case and agreement and shows how only the attested patterns of case-marking and agreement in ditransitive clauses are predicted.

Angles of Object Agreement

English | ISBN: 0192897748 | 2023 | 432 pages | PDF | 5 MB
This volume draws on insights from a range of theoretical perspectives to explore objects, agreement, and their intersecting angles, based on novel data from multiple language families. The recent expansion of agreement theories has revealed new ways of integrating phenomena that affect objects and their relational and featural properties with conventional object markers, under a single ‘agreement’ umbrella. The contributions to this book present the major advances in these new angles of research into object agreement, and highlight in particular the shared conditions on objects undergoing agreement that are attested in a large number of genetically unrelated languages and language modalities. Following a detailed introduction, the chapters are organized into four parts that explore respectively the mechanics of object agreement, constraints on symmetry, features of object agreement, and issues relating to the left periphery. The volume’s findings and the novel questions that they raise will be of interest to theoretical linguists, typologists, sign language researchers, and anyone working on the theoretical analysis of Amazonian, Bantu, Romance, Semitic, and Slavic languages.
