Agreement across the board:September 26th, 2022
FiledSeptember 26th, 2022Ripano, an Italo-Romance variety spoken in Ripatransone in central Italy, exhibits a number of phenomena that are quite rare among the Romance languages. It shows dedicated gender marking on the finite verb, unlike any other Romance language. The same variety also exhibits adverbial and prepositional agreement. Furthermore, whenever a topic is present in the clause it triggers agreement: finite verbs, non- finite verbs (participles and gerunds), adverbs, and prepositions all show agreement with the topic.
