It properties associated with it will be described and exemplified. Agreement auxiliaries feature in the first analyses of agreement because ASL have one, but research has shown that they are not rare across sign languages. Quite significantly, agreement auxiliaries co-occur with plain verbs, many of which have transfer or motion semantics. Engberg-Pedersen also questions that cases like are instances of agreement proper and proposes instead that they are examples of pragmatic agreement, whereby the relation between the predicate and its argument is specified and in particular it occurs when contrast is at play. The complexities that agreement by itself raises in both sign and spoken languages but help better understand its properties and the range of variation of its instantiations vis-+a-vis related phenomena. 2023-09-27T12:36:27Z 2023-09-27T12:36:27Z 2021 chapter 9781138801998 9780367640996 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/76453 eng application/pdf Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International 9781315754499_10.4324_9781315754499-5.pdf Taylor & Francis The Routledge Handbook of Theoretical and Experimental Sign Language Research Routledge 10.4324/9781315754499-5 10.4324/9781315754499-5 7b3c7b10-5b1e-40b3-860e-c6dd5197f0bb 3f085e74-5c1f-431c-932e-b2c6d6a41db3 8ece0728-d36b-453a-b443-5923b97c04c3 9781138801998 9780367640996 Routledge 28 Universitat Pompeu Fabra Pompeu Fabra University open access
