	abstract={A central debate in language production research is the extent to which the computation of noun-verb agreement is an autonomous syntactic process or whether it is constrained by non-syntactic factors (e.g. Bock et al. 2001; Thornton & MacDonald, in press). The primary data for these alternatives have been the rates of agreement errors in fragment completion task (a speaker completes a complex noun phrase like "the key to the cabinets" with a verb that agrees with the local noun "cabinets" rather than the head noun "key"). Evidence for non-syntactic influences on agreement is mixed in these studies. Recently several researchers have identified constructions in which several grammatical options are available (Haskell & MacDonald, submitted; Hemforth & Konieczny, 2002). These constructions are potentially quite informative, because subtle non-syntactic effects may be more evident here than in cases where only one agreement pattern is grammatical. We investigate another case of this sort, subject-verb number agreement with certain quantifier phrases in Serbian such as "five cows", for which both singular and plural verbs are grammatical.},
