Misinterpretations in agreement and agreement attraction [PDF]
Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 2016 It has been well established that subject–verb number agreement can be disrupted by local noun phrases that differ in number from the subject head noun phrase. In sentence production, mismatches in the grammatical number of the head and local noun phrases lead to agreement errors on the verb as in: the key to the cabinets are.
