'''AGREEMENT IN NORWEGIAN BOKMAL'''

<Phrase>41578</Phrase>

In the example above, there is an agreement relationship in the noun phrases ''en annen hund'' - 'another dog' and ''munnen sin'' - 'his mouth'. In both instances, the domain within which the agreement takes place is the phrase and the feature involved is GENDER (masculine). Hence, since the head words (''hund'' and ''munn'') of the two phrases are masculine, they control their respective adjective (''annen'') and determiners (''en'' and ''sin''), thereby making them also masculine. Additionally, there is an agreement relationship with respect to the feature NUMBER (singular) between the definite article ''en'' and the morpheme ''n'' as can be seen in the noun phrase (''munnen sin'') domain.
