Abstract
In this paper, I provide a novel analysis of two PCC-like agreement restrictions in Southern Tiwa, a Kiowa-Tanoan language spoken in New Mexico. I specifically propose that both restrictions result from a specific interaction between the Person Licensing Condition (Béjar and Rezac 2003, 2009, Preminger 2011, 2014) and two distinct φ-probes that have different interaction conditions (Deal 2015, 2022). I ultimately show that failures in nominal licensing, which give rise to hierarchy effects under numerous analyses (Anagnostoupoulou 2003, Béjar and Rezac 2003, 2009, Preminger 2011, 2014), can arise for several different reasons within the same language.
