Lazy agreement in the Ladin DP

In this article I will describe lazy agreement in the feminine plural noun phrase as it manifests itself in some varieties of Central Ladin (a Romance linguistic domain of Northern Italy). I will base my assumptions on Cinque’s theory (2005) about the dual source of adjectives in Romance languages and their different interpretations. I will try to demonstrate how the morphology of lazy agreement disambiguates the possible readings of Romance postnominal adjectives.
