Outline of Final Research Achievements

This project has established that minimal units of linguistic computation called features are provided with both the plus and minus values. It has also put forward a new theory of agreement according to which the process of valuation involved in agreement takes the form of deleting at least one of the values from, say, [+singular, -singular]. The project has also shown that in order to obtain meaningful results in this research area, it is necessary to carry out rigorous morphological analysis at the same time, presenting a research model that is expected to be influential in the future.
