Abstract
The article presents the results of a reflexive speculation about anomaly in structures with notional agreement in modern English. Application of a dialectic method prompts a review of the known treatments of the phenomenon and suggests discussing it as a representation of ‘another’ norm, which seems erroneous for a formal-and-prescriptive analysis but relevant for a functional-anddescriptive interpretation, the latter explaining language deviations as cognitive and communicative demands of language users.
