The property Adjective Agreement has the value “yesâ€ when there is at least one adjective that shows agreement with the Noun Phrase it modifies or that it is predicated of. This definition applies to either attributive adjectives that modify a noun such as "big" in the phrase “big ballâ€ or predicate adjectives such as “bigâ€ in the sentence “The ball is big.â€<br><br>

NA (Not Applicable): This property has the value NA for a language if it does not have adjectives.<br><br>

Examples:<br><br>

1.<br>
Italian is “yesâ€ for the property of Adjective Agreement, since an adjective may agree in gender and number with the noun phrase it modifies, as in:<br><br>

tre libr-i ross-i<br>
three books-MASC.PL red-MASC.PL<br>
"Three red books"<br><br>

Note: 	a large (but minority) class of adjectives (and nouns) in Italian show number alternation but no gender alternation, e.g. <i>intelligente</i> is singular for either gender and <i>intelligenti</i> is plural for either gender.  The whole class has <i>-e</i> in the singular and <i>-i</i> in the plural. <br><br>

Similarly, adjectives never agree with the noun phrase they are predicated of:<br><br>
