local.description.resumoIn contrast to previous discussions on agreement, this paper argues that matching oflocation is the single morphological exponent of verb agreement in sign languages, us-ing data from Brazilian Sign Language (Libras). Therefore, we reject the analysis of pathand/or directionality as agreement markers. We argue that “plain” verbs are actuallycapable of showing agreement, as long as there is no phonological restriction, if we con-sider the sharing of location features (co-localization) as the sole agreement mechanism. Agreement is not restricted to a subset of verbs and is actually more pervasive and pro-ductive than has been argued, thus challenging one argument against calling it agree-ment.
