Abstract The prevailing assumption is that an Research underlying this study was conducted with support of the Russian Foundation for Basic Research grant #17-06-00460.agreement feature originates in one linguistic element, that is a controller, and is copied onto another one, a target. This form-to-form approach encounters massive difficulties when confronted with data, such as missing controllers or feature mismatches. A cognition-to-form mapping approach is proposed instead, suggesting that agreement features, such as person, number, and gender, are associated with referents in the cognitive representation. They serve to specify referents on either notional or conventional grounds, and are thus referential features. Referential features are mapped onto various sites in linguistic structure, including inflections. Parallel agreement between various sites is observed, as a side effect of mappings from the same cognitive source. Languages differ in which and how many sites for marking referential features they require. Analysis of Russian evidence suggests that the cognition-to-form mapping approach has a much greater explanatory force than the traditional form-to-form approach. There are only peripheral classes of instances in which form-to-form agreement may be needed as a supplementary factor. In general, the roots of agreement lie in cognitively motivated discourse processes associated with reference.

重新思考协议：认知到形式的映射

摘要普遍的假设是，这项研究的基础是在俄罗斯基础研究基金会（Russian Foundation for Basic Research）拨款＃17-06-00460的支持下进行的。协议特征起源于一种语言元素，即控制者，并被复制到另一种语言元素中，目标。这种面对面的方法在面对数据时会遇到巨大的困难，例如缺少控制器或功能不匹配。相反，提出了一种认知到形式的映射方法，这表明诸如人，数字和性别之类的协议特征与认知表示中的被指对象相关联。它们用于基于理论或常规理由指定引用对象，因此是引用功能。参照特征被映射到语言结构的各个位置，包括词尾变化。观察到各个位点之间的平行一致，这是来自同一认知源的映射的副作用。语言在标记所需参考特征的站点以及站点的数量上有所不同。对俄罗斯证据的分析表明，认知到形式的映射方法比传统的形式到形式的方法具有更大的解释力。仅在外围类别的实例中，可能需要表单间协议作为补充因素。通常，一致的根源在于与参照相关的认知动机的话语过程。对俄罗斯证据的分析表明，认知到形式的映射方法比传统的形式到形式的方法具有更大的解释力。仅在外围类别的实例中，可能需要表单间协议作为补充因素。通常，一致的根源在于与参照相关的认知动机的话语过程。对俄罗斯证据的分析表明，认知到形式的映射方法比传统的形式到形式的方法具有更大的解释力。仅在外围类别的实例中，可能需要表单间协议作为补充因素。通常，一致的根源在于与参照相关的认知动机的话语过程。
