PIPCs in Chimane\u0000and Maithili involve an apparently non-local agreement relation\u0000between verbs and possessors which are internal to possessive NPs. In\u0000Chimane, it is argued that internal possessors are able to control\u0000object agreement via a clause-level ‘proxy’ of the internal possessor\u0000– see also Ritchie (under review). The paper goes on to compare this\u0000construction with PIPCs in Maithili, and shows that speakers use PIPCs\u0000in discourse to indicate the information structure role of the\u0000internal possessor. In the case of Chimane, it seems that internal\u0000possessors which bear the secondary topic role are more likely to\u0000control object agreement, while in Maithili, other semantic and\u0000information structural features of internal possessors are at\u0000play.
