AGREEMENT IN UPPER SOUTHERN ITALIAN DIALECTS: A NEW TYPOLOGY FOR ROMANCEResearch Paper • February 1st, 2011
In this paper, I wish to discuss a set of data on agreement in an Italo-Romance variety where AM takes place for both gender and number. In this variety, Ripatransone (RT), a central Italian dialect, if EA and IA have different gender or number, the verb is marked with a “mismatch marker” [2]. I wish to propose that this mismatch arises because of the more articulated structure of v in RT, which brings about an ergative- like structure.
