Concord in the Verbal Domain: External Agreement in Nakh-Daghestanian

The article discusses agreeing ablatives in Aqusha Dargwa (Nakh-Daghestanian), arguing that the morphological agreement in gender-number that these constituents display with the clausemate absolutive argument is not an instance of Agree, but should rather be analyzed as the result of Concord. The argument relies on a difference between Agree and Concord with regard to c-command. The article explores the behavior of the ablative complement to the vP-adjoined adverb ‘secretly’ and demonstrates that gender-number agreement on the complement is best predicted by Concord.
