	Verbal agreement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In linguistics, verbal agreement is a morpho-syntactic construct in which properties of the subject and/or objects of a verb are indicated by the verb form.
		Verbs in written French exhibit a richer agreement morphology than English verbs: je suis (I am), tu es (you are), elle est (she is), nous sommes (we are), vous etes (you all are), ils sont (they are).
		Basque can show agreement not only for subject, direct object and indirect object, but it also on occasion exhibits agreement for the listener as the implicit benefactor: autoa digute means he brought the car (neutral agreement for listener), but autoa zigunate means he brought the car (agreement for female singular listener).

	MontPIRG Tenant Landlord Hotline - Rental Agreement
		Verbal agreements are legally binding, but they're harder to enforce than written agreements because it is more difficult to prove that an agreement took place or what the nature of the agreement was.
		Verbal agreements are convenient to the extent that they are usually short and do not involve reading fine print.
		Sometimes a rental agreement will be referred to as a "term agreement." Provided neither the tenant nor the landlord can change the terms of the agreement for the term specified in the rental agreement, then the "term agreement" is for all purposes a lease.

		Verbal agreement could be indicated informally, for example, from the fact that the individual brought a family member or friend to the physician appointment and is actively including the family member or friend in the discussion with the physician.
		When verbal agreement cannot be obtained, the provider would be required to take reasonable steps to verify the identity of the family member or friend in order to meet the verification requirement under § 164.518(c).
		The rule does not prohibit obtaining the agreement of the individual in writing; however, we believe that imposing a requirement for consent or written authorization in all cases for disclosures ro individuals involved in a person’s care would be unduly burdensome for all parties.

		Agreement controllers may thus contain inherent features and features which are âacquiredâ from noun phrases which they have âoverrunâ in the course of the phrasal derivation, i.e.
		The two types of agreement relations are âMorphosyntactic Identificationâ found in NP-internal configurations, where the infl value of the functor is structure-shared with the infl value of the argument, and âIndex Identificationâ found in subject-predicate agreement, which is the idenfication of the index which is the value of some role in the content of verbs.
		Thus the presence of agreement with a direct object implies that the entity is less marked, while case marking is associated with the lower end of the case hierarchy, so the presence of case marking on a direct object implies that the entity is more marked.

	97-4129 -- Naimie v. Cytozyme Laboratories Inc. -- 04/08/1999
		The agreement defined Dr. Naimie's consulting duties and further stated "[i]n addition to the base fee, [Dr. Naimie] will, as in the past, be entitled to royalties on products [he has] developed or will develop." The term of the agreement was seven years.
		As such, the May 1985 Agreement did not modify or replace the verbal licensing agreement and, at the time of Dr. Naimie's termination, both the verbal licensing agreement and the May 1985 Agreement were in full force and effect.
		The Agreement mentions royalties only in passing: "In addition to the base fee you will, as in the past, be entitled to royalties on products you have developed or will develop." Both parties testified the primary purpose of the May 1985 Agreement was to make Dr. Naimie a full-time consultant.

	Notes on Agreement in Itelmen (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		In this paper, we examine a complex system of agreement suffixes on verbs and ultimately come to the conclusion that some of the cooccurrence restrictions observed arise from certain interactions between syntax/discourse and morphology, while other restrictions are the result of formal morphological considerations.
		As will be shown presently, the suffixal agreement morpheme on a given Itelmen verb may cross-reference (i.e., agree with) the subject, the object, or an oblique argument (and sometimes a combination of these).
		For oblique agreement, the existence of minimal pairs such as those in (14b)-(15) shows that a different explanation must be sought, and it is to this that we now turn.

		Rather, as we have seen, agreement is based upon a rather sophisticated algorithm.
		Remember, the agreement categories do not correspond one-one with natural gender or the declension classes—Declension I nouns may be either masculine (стол) or neuter (окно) and both Declension II (книга) and Declension III nouns (дверь) are feminine (gender relations are never simple).
		The only difference between the adjectival and verbal agreement system is that, in the plural, the agreement ending is always и despite the fact that the past tense ending -л is otherwise always a hard consonant.

		A listener who described himself as "stubbornly correct" asked us to speak to his idea that a verbal agreement can be written, and still considered a verbal agreement.
		His point is an interesting one, a twist on the widespread belief that using verbal to mean "spoken, rather than written" is an error, and that the only proper way to refer to such a covenant is as an oral agreement.
		So if we agree verbal has two meanings—"spoken rather than written," which dates to the 1500s, and "of, relating to, or consisting of words," which is a century older—we can tackle the question we began with: can a verbal agreement be written down?

		This project seeks to research, in a well-controlled, systematic fashion, three main issues in the L2 acquisition of syntactic agreement: (a) the role of the L1; (b) the involvement of UG; and (c) the age factor.
		Transfer predicts that there will be IL differences in the respective domain (nominal and/or verbal agreement), at least at early stages of development, dependent on the properties of the L1; ‘access’ to UG predicts that L2ers whose L1s lack nominal/verbal agreement will (eventually) come to acquire it, implicating the acquisition of the relevant functional features.
		In so far as syntactic agreement is dependent on the functional architecture of the phrase and clause, these theories lead to specific, testable hypotheses with respect to the initial representation of nominal and verbal agreement in ILs.

		In fact there are fixed expressions such as "verbal abuse." And movie producer Samuel Goldwyn observed that "A verbal contract isn't worth the paper it's written on." Though this usage of verbal dates back to the late 16th century and is considered standard, it has occasionally been criticized.
		There are those who favor verbal over oral to mean 'uttered by the mouth; spoken', restricting the term oral to mean 'of or involving the mouth'.
		A verbal agreement is spoken or written, i.e., expressed in words rather than implied by conduct.

	§ 296. verbal. 3. Word Choice. The American Heritage Book of English Usage. 1996
		With the possible exception of Samuel Goldwyn, who said “A verbal contract isn’t worth the paper it is written on,” just about anyone who has ever made a verbal agreement knows that verbal sometimes means “spoken, not written.” People have been using verbal in this way since the 16th century.
		This noble lineage has not deterred some language critics from insisting that verbal should only be used in the sense “by means of words” and that oral is the proper synonym for “spoken.”
		The phrase modern technologies for verbal communication may refer only to devices for spoken communication such as radio, the telephone, and the loudspeaker, or it may refer to all devices for linguistic communication, including the telegraph, the teletype, and the fax machine.
