Sažetak
Agreement patterns vary significantly across languages and constitute a challenge for linguistic theories. The obligatory nature of agreement in Slavic languages makes them felicitous for studying the factors that contribute to the computation of agreement patterns. In this study the preferences for agreement are studied with eye-tracking (regressions and fixations within AOI) in sentences in which the Subject NP is a conjunction of words of different gender and the Predicate is a Participle. Croatian speakers prefer default to linear agreement, i.e. in sentences in which the Subject is a conjunction of feminine and neuter nouns the preference for the Predicate will be the Participle in masculine. Theoretical accounts of this findings will be given in terms of Boolean IP constituents.
