What is Word Order, Case, and Agreement about?

Word order, case marking, and agreement may each serve to mark case relations ofNP arguments to the verb, and to mark inter-NP or constituent relationships. On the basis of a 30-language sample, we demonstrate that while these features are in some ways independent of each other, they are also interdependent in predictable ways, both within particular languages and universally. Specifically, there are extensive tendencies for agreement to be associated with typologically irregular word orders.
