ИСТИНА

Multiple controller configurations are constructions consisting of, in one way or another, several potential agreement controllers. In Russian, subjects are controllers of predicate agreement, so if there are more than one possible controller whose phi-features a verb can take, some kind of strategy is needed. Coordinated phrases (&P) and quantified phrases (QP) are such configurations that are rarely investigated from the point of view of agreement by person and number and even more rarely compared within one research project (Crockett 1976; Corbett 1983). &Ps can provide three agreement strategies: resolution, closest conjunct agreement, and default (Nevins & Weisser 2019). For QPs, these are quantifier agreement, restrictor agreement, and default as well. There is no mention of linear-based agreement with QP subjects, but it was never tested experimentally.
