Compositionality of agreement. Based on asymmetric coordination in head-initial languages, one could expect that the structure of coordination in head-final languages would be a mirror image of the head-initial coordination, viz., that the rightmost conjunct would dominate the leftmost one. We showed that this assumption is not true: based on the evidence from binding and extraposition, the leftmost conjunct asymmetrically dominates the rightmost one in Hindi
