Contract Type FiledJune 8th, 2020Feeding agreement: Anti-locality in Crow applicatives of unaccusatives Introduction. Crow (Siouan; Montana, USA) is a polysynthetic, head-final language that displays an active-stative agreement pattern. Subjects of active intransitives receive A-set agreement, bolded in (1), while stative subjects of intransitives receive B-set agreement, underlined in (2); the diagnos- tic of noun incorporation indicates that active intransitives are unergatives and stative intransitives are unaccusatives. (Note: bíisshi ‘tell a lie’ behaves exactly like other Crow stative intransitives.)
