Are plain verbs really plain?: co-localization as the agreement marker in sign languages

In 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 marker...
