In this article, we research variation in third person plural verb agreement in Finnish traditional dialects. Unlike in standard Finnish, in traditional dialects the main verb does not always agree in number with a third person plural subject. We approach this variation from a typologically informed variationist perspective using data from The Finnish Dialect Syntax Archive. We model variation in agreement with generalized linear mixed effects modelling and use as predictors speaker's age and sex, length of dependency between the subject and the verb, and the plural subject pronouns he and ne, part of whose semantic-pragmatic difference lies in animacy. Verb lemma and individual speaker and their dialect are used as random grouping factors. The results suggest that variation in plural agreement is influenced by speaker's sex, dependency length, and the pronoun. The effect of pronoun type on agreement indicates there is some evidence on noun classes in Finnish. |
