Past participle agreement in French is not solely determined by movement of internal arguments, as previously thought. It can also occur with in-situ internal arguments of certain verbs. This means that past participle agreement in French is not a uniform phenomenon, but results from two different mechanisms: agreement with the internal argument in its base position or from resumption. The study argues that a unified analysis of all past participle contexts in French is difficult and not desirable, as agreement with the past participle differs depending on the auxiliary used (avoir or être).
