A recurring hypothesis about agreement phenomena generalized as closest conjunct agreement (CCA) takes this pattern to result from reduced clausal conjunction, and to simply display the agreement of ...the verb with a non-conjoined subject in the clause whose content survives ellipsis (Aoun et al. 1994, 1999; see also Wilder 1997). Closest conjunct agreement is the dominant agreement pattern in the South Slavic languages Slovenian and Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian (B/C/S). A natural question is whether closest conjunct agreement in these varieties may indeed be analyzed as entirely derived from conjunction reduction. In this paper, we report on two experiments conducted on Slovenian and B/C/S to test this. The results of our experiments reject the hypothesis as far as these languages are concerned, thereby upholding the relevance of models developed to account for CCA within theories of agreement.
