Abstract
This work proposes an analysis to account for a discontinuous construction in Chilean Spanish resulting in plural inflectional morphology on the corresponding verb. In contrast with a plural DP or a conjunction of two singular DPs, this construction combines a bundle of Φ features, licensed by an Operator Phrase, and a DP that is introduced by a with-phrase. This study provides the first analysis of this agreement pattern in Chilean Spanish and introduces new empirical data that distinguishes Chilean from other Spanish varieties. Research addresses the distinctions of this Chilean construction and expands on previous theories of plural agreement, i.e., Plural Pronoun Construction and Comitative Coordination (Vassilieva, 2005; Camacho, 1996) to account for a wider array of linguistic variety.
