In addition, there is a possibility of an agreement mismatch: feminine on the adnominal modifiers and masculine on the finite verb (1c). The opposite mismatch is out (1d). This is a mirror image of the vrach &#8216;doctor&#8217; paradigm from Pesetsky (2013, 39-50). Only in the vrach &#8216;doctor&#8217; case, the direction of the possible mismatch is the opposite: masculine on the adnominal modifiers and feminine on the finite verb. Interestingly and quite surprisingly, in non-nominative cases the only available agreement for diva &#8216;diva&#8217; is feminine (while for vrach &#8216;doctor&#8217; it&#8217;s masculine):<\/p>\n<p>(2)<br clear='none'\/>\na. ja priexa-l k nash-ej div-e.<br clear='none'\/>\nI arrive.PFV-PST.M to our-F.SG.DAT diva-SG.DAT<br clear='none'\/>\n&#8216;I came to visit our diva.&#8217;<br clear='none'\/>\nb. ?\/*ja priexa-l k nash-emu div-e.<br clear='none'\/>\nI arrive.PFV-PST.M to our-M.SG.DAT diva-SG.DAT<\/p>\n<p>In this talk, we will propose an account for this phenomenon, based on a modification of the idea from Pesetsky (2013) and a modification of the feature hierarchy from Bay?rl? (2017). We will also extend our analysis to mismatches in Estonian number concord (see, e.g., Norris 2014) and develop a theory of concord as allomorphy of adnominal modifiers, assuming a replacive top-down mechanism of Lexical Insertion (see, e.g. Halle and Marantz 1993).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaker: Mitya Privoznov (MIT) and Neil Banerjee Title: On Russian doctors and Estonian numbers, or nominal concord as allomorphy Time: Thursday, April 27th, 5pm - 6:30pm Location: 32-D831 \u00a0(changed) Abstract: Here&#8217;s a puzzling paradigm from Russian based on Zaliznyak (1967, 1980) and Pesetsky (2013): (1) a. vchera nash-a div-a opjat&#8217; skandali-l-a. yesterday our-F.SG.NOM diva-SG.NOM again [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":26,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15568","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-announcements"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ling-phil.mit.edu\/whamit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15568","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ling-phil.mit.edu\/whamit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ling-phil.mit.edu\/whamit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ling-phil.mit.edu\/whamit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/26"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ling-phil.mit.edu\/whamit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15568"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/ling-phil.mit.edu\/whamit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15568\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15589,"href":"https:\/\/ling-phil.mit.edu\/whamit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15568\/revisions\/15589"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ling-phil.mit.edu\/whamit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15568"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ling-phil.mit.edu\/whamit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15568"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ling-phil.mit.edu\/whamit\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15568"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
