ABSTRACT This paper discusses the agreement patterns of passive structures in Brazilian Portuguese (BP). More specifically, we claim that the fact that postverbal DPs in such structures don’t necessarily trigger agreement on the verb and the participial head, whereas moved DPs always do, represents a problem for the Agree model proposed by Chomsky (1998 and subsequent work). We adopt Hornstein’s (2009) model, which eliminates Agree from the grammar, and propose that these postverbal DPs are actually focused in BP. The defective agreement patterns are suggested to be a consequence of the focused status of the DPs. KEYWORDS Agreement. Focus. Passive Constructions. Postverbal DPs. RESUMO Este artigo discute os padro?es de concorda?ncia nas construc?o?es passivas no Portugue?s Brasileiro (PB). Mais especificamente, argumentamos que o fato de os DPs po?s-verbais na?o necessariamente dispararem concorda?ncia com o verbo e com o nu?cleo de partici?pio nessas estruturas, enquanto os DPs movidos sempre o fazem, representa um problema para o modelo de Agree proposto por Chomsky (1998 e trabalhos seguintes). Adotamos o modelo de Hornstein (2009), que elimina a operac?a?o Agree da grama?tica e propomos que esses DPs po?s-verbais sa?o, na verdade, focalizados no PB. Sugerimos que os padro?es de concorda?ncia defectiva sa?o conseque?ncia da focalizac?a?o desses elementos. PALAVRAS-CHAVE Concordância. Foco. Construcoes Passivas. DPs pos-verbais.
