"abstract": "In this paper, we research the interaction of number agreement, dependency length, and word order between the subject and the verb in Finnish traditional dialects. While in standard Finnish the verb always agrees with the subject in person and number, in traditional dialects it does not always agree in number with a third person plural subject. We approach this variation with data from The Finnish Dialect Syntax Archive, focusing here on plural lexical subjects. We use generalized linear mixed effects modelling to model variation in number agreement and use as as a predictor the dependency length between the subject and the verb, building in word order as part of this measure. Variation across lemmas, individuals, and dialects is addressed via random grouping factors. Finite verb and the main lexical verb are considered as alternative reference points for dependency length and agreement. The results suggest that the probability of number agreement increases as the distance of the preverbal subject from the verb increases, but the trend is the opposite for postverbal subjects so that the probability of number agreement decreases as the distance of the subject from the verb increases.

"text": "Over the past two decades dependency relations have been much researched from the perspective of dependency length. Dependency length measures the distance between the head and the dependent of a construction in terms of the number of intervening words. Cross-linguistic research suggests a tendency to keep dependency length minimal across languages (Hawkins, 2004; Liu et al., 2017; Gibson et al., 2019; Jing et al., to appear) . Interaction of dependency length with other grammatical factors, such as word order, has also been increasingly researched. However, there has been very little research on the possible relationship between dependency length and variation in case marking and/or agreement (Ros et al., 2015; Sinnem\u00e4ki and Haakana, 2021) despite increasing calls for doing so. Most previous research also focuses on written language or a mixture of spoken and written language using, for instance, the Universal Dependencies data de Marneffe et al., 2021) .",

These include sociolinguistic factors, such as speakers gender and dialect, as well as structural factors. For instance, plural agreement is rare with the copula verb, quite common with preverbal subjects, and quite likely when the subject is far removed from the verb (Karlsson, 1966; Karlsson, 1977; Mielik\u00e4inen, 1984) . This earlier research thus already suggests that dependency length and word order affect plural agreement. There is also much cross-dialectal variation in number agreement, the plural agreement being the most frequent in the South-Eastern, the South-Western, and the Northernmost dialects but uncommon elsewhere. However, the relative effect of these factors have not been evaluated with one another using computational modelling, taking into account dialectal variation as well.",

In the case of the dependency relation between the subject and the verb, one source of noise are words that intervene between the subject and the verb. The more such intervening words there are, the more this burdens the memory and may hamper the hearer's ability to recover the dependency relation. When applied to variable plural agreement, the noisy channel hypothesis predicts that the greater the distance between the plural subject and the verb, the more likely the verb will agree with the plural subject to maximize the hearer's ability to recover the dependency relation. But when the subject and verb are very close to each other, there is less noise from intervening words and thus the likelihood of plural agreement is predicted to be low. Other grammatical structures, such as repeating the verb, may be used for maximizing the recoverability of the dependency relation especially in spoken language, but these structures are excluded from this study.",

"text": "These predictions are further qualified by word order. With plural preverbal lexical subjects, agreement is the only reliable source of information for the dependency relation in Finnish, since both plural lexical subject and objects may be in the nominative case. Because the order of subject and verb is very flexible in Finnish dialects (see Section 2), word order is not informative about syntactic structure either. However, the verb's argument structure may provide information about the arguments at the verb. Given these sources of information for recovering the dependency relation, we predict that plural agreement is more likely with preverbal than with postverbal subjects. This prediction accords also with what is known about plural agreement in the world's languages. Based on earlier research there is a universal tendency to suspend plural agreement between the subject and the verb in postverbal contexts (Greenberg, 1966) , that is, to use singular verb forms with postverbal plural subjects. This pattern is found in standard Finnish as well (Karlsson, 1977) .",

Dependency length is analysed as the distance between the head (the verb) and the dependent (the subject). However, when the predicate is composed of several parts, each of which can agree with the subject in number, the situation becomes more complex: how should we account for number agreement on an inflecting auxiliary that is closer to the subject compared to the main lexical verb? It is plausible to assume that placing the auxiliary close to the subject would enable earlier identification of the dependency relations (Ros et al., 2015 (Ros et al., , p. 1160 (Ros et al., -1161 .",

"text": "In Finnish, agreement on the predicate can be expressed on three different elements. Example in Figure (1) illustrates how not only the main lexical verb (sy\u00f6d\u00e4 'to eat') can agree with the subject in number but so can the auxiliary verb (olla 'to be') and the negative auxiliary verb (ei). Such complex predicates pose a potential problem for analysing the relationship between agreement and dependency length. In this paper we contrast two ways of approaching this issue. We start by modelling the finite verb as the head, that is, as the reference point for dependency length and agreement. In the case of simple verbs the main lexical verb is also the finite verb. In the case of complex verbs, the finite auxiliary is the finite element, while the main lexical verb is non-finite. We then contrasted this approach by modelling the main lexical verb as the head. However, in the case of complex verbs with three elements, the non-finite auxiliary verb (olla in the example in Figure 1 ) could be considered as an alternative reference point for dependency length and agreement as well. This was not attempted here, since there were only 14 such instances and in each of them the auxiliary was in the singular. Second, we limited the analysis to clauses containing a lexical subject and excluded pronoun subjects from the study. The reason for this was that earlier research on third person plural subject pronouns has already suggested that a growing distance between the subject pronoun and the main lexical verb increases the probability of plural forms on the verb at least with preverbal subjects (Sinnem\u00e4ki and Haakana, 2021) . There are also two third person plural pronouns in Finnish, namely ne and he. The latter pronoun is much less common across Finnish dialects but it also occurs much more frequently with plural agreement compared to ne. For these reasons, we thought it would be meaningful to focus only on lexical subjects and to contrast also the preverbal and the postverbal domains.",

There were also some cases where the verb was repeated multiple times before the subject, which led to suspiciously long dependency lengths in the automatic analysis.

"text": "Length of dependency is defined as the number of intervening words between the head and the dependent in a construction. For the purpose of modelling, we coded dependency length following Gildea and Temperley (2010) so that it received negative values in left-branching dependency-relations, that is, where the subject preceded the verb (the finite auxiliary or the main lexical verb), and positive values in right-branching dependency-relations, that is, where the subject followed the verb, the head (the verb) itself at zero. This coding enables us to keep the ensuing model structure simple and to put emphasis on dependency length in the modelling, while still being able to inspect linear order at least visually. An alternative would have been to use positive counts for dependency length and to model its interaction with word order. Because this would have increased the complexity of the model we opted for coding dependency length with both positive and negative values. Figure 2 displays the histogram for dependency length over agreement. In both plots, the majority of instances is adjacent to the verb with diminishing number of instances as the distance from the verb grows. The subject tends to occur mostly preverbally, but postverbal lexical subjects are also common with both finite verbs (plot A) and main lexical verbs (plot B). Overall, there is a lot of variation in the order of the subject and the verb in Finnish dialects. The distribution of number agreement is biased so that plural forms of the verb are relatively more common among preverbal lexical subjects, while singular forms are relatively more common among postverbal lexical subjects. In addition, plural agreement seems slightly more common as the preverbal subject is further removed from the verb and singular agreement seems slightly more common as the postverbal subject is further removed from the verb. Yet based on the histograms alone it is hard to draw conclusions on how number agreement behaves more generally as distance from the verb increases.",

For this reason we modelled the main lexical verb as a random intercept also in the m.fin model.

This large reductions in AIC (> 10) provide evidence for both models' goodness (Burnham and Anderson, 2002, p. 70-71) . The explanatory power of dependency length in model m.fin was about 0.030 (marginal R 2 ) and for the whole model about 0.494 (conditional R 2 ); for model m.lex the respective figures were 0.013 and 0.500.

Figure 3 : Marginal effects for dependency length over number agreement (in plot A for finite verbs and in plot B for main lexical verbs; small jitter is added to the datapoints). Figure 3 presents the marginal effect plots for the two models. The plots suggest a clear inverse relationship between dependency length and number agreement. In both plots the predicted probability of plural agreement is about 10% when the plural lexical subject is adjacent to the verb. However, the more words intervene between a preverbal subject and the verb, the greater the predicted probability of plural agreement becomes. In plot A it is around 40% at a distance of seven and increases above 60% at the greatest distances, while in plot B it is around 30% at a distance of seven and increases above 40% at the greatest distances. On the other hand, the more words intervene between a postverbal lexical subject and the verb, the smaller and ever closer to zero the predicted probability of plural agreement becomes in both plots. Word order thus seems to condition the effect of dependency length on number agreement: plural agreement is more likely when the lexical subject precedes the verb than when it follows the verb, and the difference between the word orders becomes the clearer the greater the dependency length is.",
