Based on the analysis of naturalistic corpus data, this book puts forward the proposal that all verbs in German Sign Language grammatically agree with their arguments – even if agreement is not always overtly realized. This motivates a unified syntactic analysis of constructions with verbs of all types, thus presenting a novel solution to the typological puzzle that supposedly only a subset of verbs agree in sign languages around the world.
