Agreement in contemporary standard Russian

Abstract

Agreement in Contemporary Standard Russian was a tremendous book for its time. I relied heavily upon it the first time I got to teach Russian syntax (in 1987), and even today I continue to draw examples from its extensive corpus in teaching a more theoretical brand of Russian syntax. It provides a host of sensible descriptive generalizations about difficult cases of agreement for gender and number, and the statistical surveys that have been published in Russia and the Soviet Union in more recent years generally confirm the validity of Crockett’s earlier, more intuitive generalizations.
