Résumé

In this paper, we analyze dative agreement drop, a phenomenon attested in North-Eastern varieties of Basque. More precisely, we distinguish three main settings of this syntactic variable with respect to agreement obligatoriness. In the first setting, dative agreement is optional. This setting is found with (i.) quirky dative objects in absolutive/dative alternating verbs, (ii) dative-postpositions in postposition/dative alternating verbs, and (iii) aspectual datives. In the second setting, dative agreement is obligatory rather than optional, and here we distinguish (iv.) dative-experiencers, (v.) dative-possessors in inalienable possession and ethical datives, and (vi.) causees. The third and last setting corresponds to datives which may never agree, that is, adjunct type datives. We�ll obtain the main data from the historical dictionary Mitxelena and Sarasola´s (1989-2005) Orotariko Euskal Hiztegia (OEH) and the modern literature corpus Ereduzko Prosa Gaur (EPG). We�ll also present a corpus search tool which retrieves syntactic information from this corpus : Corsintax.
