Annotation
This study debates gender and person agreement in the Nakh-Daghestanian language Lak. It displays that the two agreement systems are formally and functionally totally disjuncted from each other. Lak Corpus data does not prove that gender agreement in this language is employed to establish reference. Thus it should rather be handled as concord, that is, similar to modifier agreement within the noun phrase.
