Article is limited and narrow

Many other phenomena can be called "attraction", not just who/whom selection in English... AnonMoos (talk) 19:03, 7 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Expanding the article

I'm working on this page for a Psycholinguistics assignment, looking to expand the lead, clarify the section on Agreement Attraction through,^[1] and work to extend the scope of the Case Attraction section Jmshnry (talk) 12:33, 24 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Needs other languages

The article’s examples are almost all from English (except one mention that attraction can occur in Dutch). It would be good for the article to show whether the phenomenon of attraction is widespread beyond English. Loraof (talk) 17:58, 21 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I think it was basically first defined with respect to Latin (which allows more scope for it than English does). AnonMoos (talk) 12:28, 28 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Bad example

I think the example near the end

This is the boss of the man whose I met yesterday.

would never be uttered by anyone. Loraof (talk) 17:58, 21 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
