Agreement with coordination has been a topic of much discussion in the syntactic literature for decades. This is due to its significance in deepening our understanding of key issues, such as the way primitive syntactic operations such as Merge and Agree operate and interact with hierarchical/linear distance, the location of agreement in the grammar, and whether or not narrow syntax, just like the PF, has access to linear order when valuing agreement. This paper empirically and theoretically contributes to the growing body of literature on the topic by investigating agreement with preverbal and sandwiched coordinate phrases in Jordanian Arabic. A special focus will be directed to furthest conjunct agreement, agreement with the first conjunct in preverbal position, since it challenges the mainstream generalization that conjunct agreement occurs with the closest conjunct. The paper reports on a series of four large-scale experiments on Jordanian Arabic and shows that agreement in these domains comes in various forms. Building on Citko (2018), I propose an analysis of the facts that overcomes the problems faced by previous work and that provides support to a new perspective on the computation of agreement, by distinguishing multiple simultaneous Agree that gives rise to resolved agreement from multiple nonsimultaneous Agree, where agreement may be distributed between narrow syntax and the PF.

约旦阿拉伯语中最遥远的合意协议

数十年来,在语法文献中,与协调一致一直是很多讨论的话题。这是因为它在加深我们对关键问题的理解方面的重要性,这些知识包括诸如Merge和Agree之类的原始语法操作与分层/线性距离进行操作和交互的方式,语法中一致的位置以及语法是否狭窄,就像PF一样,在评估协议时可以访问线性订单。本文通过调查与约旦阿拉伯语中的前言和夹心坐标短语的一致性,从经验和理论上为这一主题的文学发展做出贡献。我们将特别关注最远的连词,即与第一个处于谓词位置的连词的一致,因为它挑战了主流合意,即合意与最接近的合取发生了。该论文报道了约旦阿拉伯语的四个大型实验系列,并表明在这些领域的协议以各种形式出现。在Citko(2018)的基础上,我提出了一个事实分析,该事实克服了先前工作所面临的问题,并通过区分多个同时达成的协议(将多个已达成协议的协议从非同时达成的协议中区分出来),为协议计算的新观点提供了支持同意,在狭窄的语法和PF之间可以分配协议。
