Abstract In this article we describe a possessive construction in the Ngumpin-Yapa languages of Australia which has interesting implications for crosslinguistic models of agreement. In this “possessor dissension” construction, the possessor NP remains a modifier within the larger possessive NP, yet both the possessor and the possessum are cross-referenced with clause-level agreement morphology. Thus, there is a type of morphosyntactic disagreement (or dissension) between the syntactic position of the possessor as an NP-internal argument and its being agreed with at the clausal level as if it were a clausal argument. This phenomenon has had only limited mention in the typological literature, and has not previously been discussed for Australian languages. We discuss the properties of the construction, how it can be distinguished from other related construction types, and its implications for the typology of agreement.

拥有者异议：Ngumpin-Yapa所有格结构中的协议不匹配

摘要在本文中，我们以澳大利亚的Ngumpin-Yapa语言描述了所有格构造，这对跨语言的协议模型具有有趣的意义。在这种“拥有者异议”结构中，拥有者NP仍然是较大的占有性NP中的修饰语，但是拥有者和所有占位符均与条款级别的协议形态交叉引用。因此，在拥有者作为NP内部论点的句法位置与其在子句层次上的同意之间就存在一种形态句法上的分歧（或分歧），就好像它是从句论点一样。这种现象在类型学文献中只得到了很少的提及，并且以前没有针对澳大利亚语言进行过讨论。我们讨论建筑的特性，
