Annotation
Ingush (Nakh-Daghestanian, Caucasus) presents a diversity of contexts with contrast, variation, or speaker choice between agreement and non-agreement and between overt and null arguments, which supply speakers many chances to manipulate agreement and argument marking. Ingush discourse is thus a good test case for the plausible supposition that agreement and overt arguments are in complementary distribution.
