Abstract
- We show that in Tegelen Dutch, a Dutch dialect, a conjunction or disjunction can agree with a subject in the subsequent conjunct. We dub this instance of agreement Boolean Agreement. The agreement is restricted in the following ways: (i) the coordination must be interpreted Boolean and (ii) the coordination must be embedded. We analyze the agreement on the disjunction or conjunction as an instance of so-called Complementizer Agreement, a phenomenon which is independently attested in this dialect. We show that our analysis can be extended to Boolean Agreement in gapping configurations and comparative clauses. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
