Alternate Agreement in ArabicAlternate Agreement • August 30th, 2010
Arabic has rich agreement morphology which allows it to show agreement relations between various elements in the sentence. There are five morphosyntactic features involved in agreement in Arabic: number (singular, dual and plural), gender (feminine and masculine), person (1st, 2nd, and 3rd), case (nominative, accusative and genitive) and definiteness (definite and indefinite). The strongest agreement relation is that between a noun and adjective where four of the five agreement features are involved: number, gender, case and definiteness. Examples (1) through (5) show different type of agreement relationships.
