Givenness and referentiality of the subject Sample Clauses

Givenness and referentiality of the subject.  Given subjects are known to be more likely to trigger agreement. Agreement suspension is characteristic of existential or presentational constructions [Xxxxxxx 2006: 197 ff; Creissels 2010; Iemmolo (in press)].  The higher the referential status of the subject, the likelier is number agreement [Xxxxxxx 2006, 200 ff; Xxxxxxxxxx 2010].  Our data strongly support both predictions: “given” subjects trigger agreement more often than “new” subjects, definite subjects trigger agreement more often than indefinite subjects (χ2, p < 0.01 in both cases). Тable 4. Given/new subject and plural marking of the predicate –PL +PL Total N % N % N given 22 17% 104 83% 126 new 26 46% 30 54% 56 TOTAL 48 26% 134 74% 182 Table 5.

Probably (cf. Tables 4 and 5) givenness is a stronger factor than definiteness.
