Abstract
This chapter surveys the treatment of agreement in LFG. We show how theories of agreement can be classified by how they use symmetry and feature sharing in their treatments and how LFG usually opts for a symmetric but not feature sharing account. Other topics include the INDEX/CONCORD distinction, how non-fstructure such as linear order and information structure impacts on agreement, long-distance agreement and Wechsler’s Agreement Marking Principle.
