'''Rich agreement''' refers to [[person-number agreement]] (or [[cross-referencing]]) paradigms that distinguish most or all person-number combinations and therefore make the use of [[independent pronoun]]s redundant. In [[:category:generative syntax|generative syntax]], rich agreement has often been said to [[license]] the [[empty]] pronominal category [[pro]] (Taraldsen 1978 and much subsequent work).

===Examples===
Italian has the folloiwng person-number paradigm, which is said to exibit rich agreement:
* 1SG ''cant-o'' 'I sing'
* 2SG ''cant-i'' 'you sing'
* 3SG ''cant-a'' 's/he sing-s'
* 1PL ''cant-iamo'' 'we sing'
* 2PL ''cant-ate'' 'you sing'
* 3PL ''cant-ano'' 'they sing'

As the English translations show, English has a only two different forms (''sing'' and ''sings''), so that the English paradigm does not exemplify rich agreement. Correspondingly, in Italian the use of independent pronouns is optional (''io canto'' 'I sing'), whereas it is normally required in English.
