On Agreement and Nominative Objects in Icelandic

In Icelandic, constructions exist where the case of the subject is oblique and the case of the object is nominative. The finite verb agrees in number with the object, whereas the person is always third person. This is taken as support for the division of a subject agreement node into two nodes, number and person. The nominative case of the object is seen as a result of the division of case licensing into two modules: One related to the licensing of a case feature, the other concerned with the value that this case feature may assume.
