| Sumario: | This article aims to provide an agreement analysis between the postpositional phrase head and its complement in the Tenetehára language (Tupí-Guaraní). I assume that, in Tenetehára, the postpositions complements move to a specifier position of a functional category above PP, in order to check the Oblique Case. I provisionally label this functional category as FP. Thus, at the point of the derivation in which the head Fo, which moved from Po, is in a Spec-Head relation with the FP specifier, generated as a complement to Po, relational agreement is established. |
