In this paper, we present an analysis of Copular Agreement in Hindi-Urdu. We examine assumed identity copula structures (e.g., For today, I am him.), where show that the broad characterization Hindi-Urdu agreement generalization – ‘agree with highest unmarked DP’ is insufficient: a structurally lower nominal has demonstrable impact on availability higher nominal. This interference arises as function person specifications various nominals structure. Previous approaches account for such effects either terms licensing needs involved copulas (Coon et al. 2017; Keine 2019), or properties probe & 2020). argue order to observed Hindi-Urdu, combination both perspectives required. Given realization grammaticality sentences verbal morphology certain tenses and presence/absence modulate feature gluttony 2020) Under approach, combinations features, finite relationship Ungrammaticality when there no morphological exponent can realize features associated those two relationships. Further, establish DPs are licensed by T, thus entirely without component untenable. also issue copular constructions (and elsewhere) be handled through adoption Kalin (2018) style analysis.
