In Modern Greek, when a pronoun or an adjectival complement is in the same sentence or in sentences of close proximity with its preceding an tecedent NP, the former has to agree in grammatical gender with the la tter. It is argued, however, that cases that are largely considered to be instances of ungrammaticality because they violate the rule mentio ned above could also be interpreted as signs of attitudinal/connotativ e differentiations on the part of the speaker.
