Some Particularly Problematic Contexts. In this section, I discuss two contexts that have proven to be particularly difficult for both EW and EK. The first context is „multiple‟ agreement: the co-occurrence of various modifiers that refer to the same noun and must all agree with it according to the Italian grammar. The second context concerns agreement with DP-external items. 5.3.1 „Multiple‟ Agreement With the Same Noun In our data, it is quite frequent that more modifiers refer to the same noun, especially in EK‟s videos. The corpus contains various combinations: a prenominal and a postnominal modifier co-occur within the same DP (16), or two postnominal modifiers do (17); a third possibility is that two predicative modifiers are coordinated (18). Curiously enough, most of the times the speakers realize agreement on one of the modifiers, while the other(s) occurs in the default form:
