How are abstract Agree relations realized in narrow syntax? In this paper, I argue that the verbal morphology known as ‘Philippine-type voice’ or ‘wh-agreement’ is a feature of discourse configurationality (É. Kiss 1995; Miyagawa 2010). This morphology constitutes the arbitrary spell-out of parallel chains (Kandybowicz 2000) probing the same goal (...
