This workshop explores Long Distance Agreement (LDA) phenomena, focusing on how agreement mechanisms go beyond local domains.

We aim at discussing the implications of their findings for syntactic theory, particularly regarding locality conditions, the interaction of movement with agreement, the potential overlap (or lack thereof) of Case and agreement domains, and, more generally, the variation landscape that we may expect when we compare languages differing in dependent types (infinitives, nominalizations, finite dependents, etc.), feature sets or feature distribution across clausal structure.

The workshop aims to foster a broader understanding of how LDA can be formalized within the generative framework.

The topics of interest of this workshop include:

• Mechanisms of LDA in different languages, including agreement across clauses
• Formal models of agreement and their extension beyond local domains
• Interaction of agreement with syntactic movement, including crosslinguistic variation and contact situations
• Theoretical approaches to feature sharing and agreement in complex syntactic structures
• Empirical evidence for long-distance agreement, including data from languages with multiple agreement systems

This workshop is part of the project “Microparameters and Networks in Romance Variation” (2022-2026), funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities.
