On one view of syntactic structure, the expression of the grammatical relation SUBJECT is associated with an NP position. On another, this grammatical relation is expressed by a bound pronominal form. Discussion of the choice of one or the other of these has focused exclusively on the reflex of what is traditionally termed 'subject/verb agreement' and an 'agreeing' NP. This paper otTers a theory, exemplified through an analysis of Luiseiio. which accommodates a range of 'subject agreement' forms. The analysis is based on the idea that subject information can flow from a number of distinct sources. Languages might ditTer in regard to how many of these sources are used. One consequence of this idea is '0 deny a simple bifurcation into subject-pro-drop / non-subjectpro-drop or pronominal-subject / nominal-subject languages. The Luiseiio analysis. therefore, forces a reconsideration of the roles of subject/verb agreement and the agreeing NP in grammatical composition.*
