The Bantu-Romance connection : a comparative investigation of verbal agreement, DPs, and information structure /

520 |a Both Bantu and Romance languages use a V(erb) S(ubject) construction to express thetic ("out-of-the-blue") sentences. Two types of languages can be distinguished within these language families, with respect to the verbal agreement in a thetic VS sentence: in type 1 the verb has default agreement, whereas in type 2 the verb agrees with the postverbal subject. In the Bantu languages these two types also display a difference in the use of conjoint and disjoint verb forms. Collins (2004), Carstens (2005), and Baker (2008) have previously analyzed such agreement and word order phenomena. These acco
