Disagreements over agreement - a comparison of naïve and expert intuitions
This paper presents the results of a study comparing native speaker intuitions on sentences with Closest Conjunct Agreement (CCA) obtained from linguists and non-linguists and it functions as a continuation of a larger study of agreement patterns in the South Slavic languages. In this particular research, we used a sentence-picture matching experiment with a 0-100 scale which the participants used to indicate the acceptability of a particular sentence with a CCA pattern. Our participants were two groups of native speakers of Croatian (of the Shtokavian dialect) with different levels of education: BA-level students (N = 30) and Croatian teachers and linguists employed at elementary schools, high schools and universities (N = 30). The difference between results obtained from linguists and non- linguists as research participants has been a matter of scholarly debate for the past several decades and our aim is to contribute to this discussion by providing data related to CCA. The results of the study indicate that there is a statistically significant difference in linguistic intuitions between the two groups and there are valid reasons to attribute this difference to the level of education.
