Chapter 1 Introduction
Subject-verb agreement is one of the basic requirements in many languages in the world and its rule is disarmingly simple in appearance. That is particularly true in English, where the extent of grammatical agreement is limited and agreement morphology is correspondingly sparse.
Yet even in English, the normal course of agreement demands the close cooperation of semantic, syntactic, lexical, morphological, and phonological information, to marshal and coordinate elements from all of the systems involved in the linguistic mapping from meaning to sound. The mechanisms behind agreement must be set into motion in the majority of utterances that speakers produce. Most utterances contain verbs, and the forms of verbs in English can change depending on the number properties of other elements with which verbs co-occur, typically subjects. This makes agreement a fundamental psycholinguistic challenge that in everyday speaking must be met on the order of once every few seconds.
Agreement error happens constantly. As a particular type of speech error, it reflects the process of how people produce language and arouses interest of some psycholinguistic researchers. In large part, this interest is due to the observation that agreement is inconsistent in use, and to the discovery by Bock and Cutting (1992); Bock and Eberhard (1993); Bock and Miller (1991) that it is relatively easy to elicit subject-verb number agreement errors in the laboratory. Bock and her colleagues (Bock and Eberhard, 1993; Bock and Miller, 1991) explored experimentally the role of attractors in speech production. In a series of studies, they presented speakers with sentence preambles such as "The picture on the postcards" or "The road to the lakes". Participants were asked to produce a full sentence starting with the preamble.
In an upsurge of psycholinguistic interest in the dynamics of agreement in language: production, research has focused on number agreement between subjects and verbs, grammatical gender agreement between subjects and predicates (Badecker&Kuminiak, 2017), gender agreement between pronoun and antecedent (Meyer&Bock, 1999), and number agreement between pronoun and antecedent (Bock, Eberhard,&Cutting, 2017; Bock, Nicol,&Cutting, 1999).
