Transitivity and non-uniform subjecthood in agreement attraction
Memory & Cognition, 2023Research on human language converges on a view in which a grammatical "subject" is the most saliently encoded entity in mental representation. However, subjecthood is not a syntactically uniform phenomenon.

Agreement, attraction and architectural opportunism
Journal of Linguistics, 2012The purpose of this paper is to examine psycholinguistic work onattractionwith a view to enriching our knowledge of the grammar of agreement. Following Franck et al. (2006), I assume that the different theories of agreement should relate to the way speakers err when they implement agreement operations. As an aberrant computation of the mind, attraction
