Agreement Target Hierarchy @cite{corbett-1991} #

The Agreement Hierarchy (@cite{corbett-1991}) ranks morphosyntactic targets by likelihood of showing agreement: attributive adjectives are most likely, verbs least likely. If a language shows gender/number agreement on a lower target, it shows agreement on all higher targets.

This type is shared by gender typology (Phenomena/Gender/Typology.lean) and number agreement (Phenomena/Agreement/Studies/Corbett2000.lean).

Morphosyntactic targets where agreement can surface, ordered by the Agreement Hierarchy (@cite{corbett-1991}).

Higher rank = more likely to show agreement (closer to controller). Lower rank = less likely (further from controller, more semantic).
