Abstract:
International audience ; In this paper we discuss the so-called “dominant” construction found with Latin participles. We argue that this construction instantiates a rare type ofsubject case assignment where the case of the participle’s subject depends on the grammatical function of the participial clause. To capture this in theLFG formalism, we argue for a “copy theory” of agreement, where the information from the agreeing features are present in both the controller andthe target of agreement: this theory enables us to offer a uniform account of agreement across all uses of participles. We also discuss the implications for LFG’s theory of subject case assignment, in particular the constructive case approach.
