Cross-linguistic variation in quantifier unagreement: A Mediterranean perspective

Unagreement describes configurations of (apparently) third person noun phrases cross-referenced by non-third person verbal agreement, available in some null subject languages like Greek, Spanish or Bulgarian. I discuss new data suggesting that there is crosslinguistic variation between Bulgarian and Greek concerning whether the speaker needs to be included in the restrictor set in unagreement with quantified subjects. Moreover, I will briefly address a second, potentially unrelated dimension of crosslinguistic variation in quantifier unagreement that addresses possible "Balkan" and "Iberian" patterns and their possible role for language contact in southern Italy.
