本文是对贝克的《当协议是关于人数和性别而不是人称的时候》的评论。在许多情况下，人称一致的行为与数字和/或性别一致的行为背道而驰；贝克提出的中心假设--关于人称一致的结构性条件(简称SCOPA)--试图推导出这些偏离应用于人称一致的单一的结构性条件。在这篇评论中，我探索了反例SCOPA的巴斯克数据，以及SCOPA未能解决的其他几种经验模式，但我认为这些模式应该被视为相同的经验图景的一部分。但我认为，这些额外的模式非但没有谴责SCOPA，反而可能为我们提供关于如何得出SCOPA(具有相当大的经验性报道)以及它的例外情况的提示。
This paper is a commentary on Baker’s “When Agreement is for Number and Gender but not Person”. In many contexts, the behavior of person agreement departs from that of number and/or gender agreement; the central hypothesis advanced by Baker—theStructural Condition on Person Agreement(or SCOPA)—is an attempt to derive these departures from a single, structural condition on the application of person agreement.In this commentary, I explore Basque data that counter-exemplifies SCOPA, as well as a handful of other empirical patterns that SCOPA fails to address, but which I believe should be treated as part of the same empirical landscape. But far from condemning SCOPA, I believe these additional patterns may provide us with hints regarding how SCOPA (with its considerable empirical coverage), as well as its exceptions, are to be derived.
