Wampanoag, like a number of other Algonquian languages, makes a distinction between Conjunct and Independent orders of verbal morphology. I investigate the syntactic factors conditioning the choice between orders, and conclude that Conjunct verbs are structurally lower than Independent verbs, as they are used in syntactic contexts in which verb-movement to high structural positions is often prevented cross-linguistically. Wampanoag is shown to exhibit a form of antiagreement; this adds considerable complexity to the distribution of Conjunct and Independent, since Wampanoag’s agreement system is itself quite complex. Phillips ’ (1998) approach to anti-agreement as a ban on certain kinds of verb movement is supported
