How To Agree With A Qnp

This paper focuses on the great variety of phi-agreement patterns and case alternations quantified noun phrases trigger in Serbo-Croatian. Novel data from Serbo-Croatian are contributed, - showing more agreement patterns than so far attested. Crucial for the analysis is an - observation that draws a parallel between the agreement patterns of quantified noun phrases and - conjoined noun phrases. We will show that the data can best be described by a strictly derivational - agreement system based on rule ordering (Muller 2009; Murphy & Puskar 2018) and operating in narrow syntax. Existing case-based approaches (Pesetsky 1982; Franks 1994; Boskovic 2003; 2006) and INDEX-CONCORD based feature systems (Wechsler & Zlatic 2000; 2003; Danon 2013) fail to account for agreement alternations in pre- and post-verbal position as well as in NP-topicalisation configurations.
