Abstract: The article presents an experimental study of predicative agreement with a coordinate subject containing personal pronouns in Russian. We compared the acceptability of different agreement strategies depending on word order, conjunct order, and tense of the verb. The results of the experiments showed that in the constructions with coordinate subjects containing personal pronouns, three strategies are possible — resolution agreement, closest conjunct agreement, and default agreement.
Keywords: predicate agreement, coordinate subject, person hierarchy, the Russian language
