Alliterative agreement

An agreement construction is called alliterative agreement if the agreement marker on the target is identical to a formative on the controller, and if different targets all show the same formative (Corbett 2006:15-17).

Example
Swahili

Comments
The term alliterative agreement is really appropriate only for prefixal agreement markers (see alliteration), but Corbett (2006:15-17, 87-90) also extends it to other markers, following Dobrin (1995).
