ИСТИНА

This research aims to investigate possible patterns of predicate agreement with coordinated pronominal subjects in Russian using experimental methods of collecting language data. We have conducted two experiments to check the influence of two factors on the acceptability of different verbal forms: the order of conjuncts (‘1sg – 2sg’ or ‘2sg – 1sg’) and the subject position regarding to a verb (SV or VS). The experiments showed the differences in the agreement patterns related to the word order as our respondents allowed non-basic types of closest adjunct agreement more in VS-stimuli than in SV-ones.
