Imposters are third person DPs that are used to refer to the
speaker/writer or addressee, such as : (i) Your humble servant
finds the time before our next encounter very long. (ii) This
reporter thinks that the current developments are extraordinary.
(iii) Daddy will be back before too long. (iv) The present author
finds the logic of the reply faulty. This volume explores verbal
and pronominal agreement with imposters from a cross-linguistic
perspective. The central questions for any given language are: (a)
How do singular and plural imposters agree with the verb? (b) When
a pronoun has an imposter antecedent, what are the phi-features of
the pronoun? The volume reveals a remarkable degree of variation in
the answers to these questions, but also reveals some underlying
generalizations. The contributions describe imposters in Bangla,
Spanish, Albanian, Indonesian, Italian, French, Romanian, Mandarin
and Icelandic.
