Abstract This survey article presents an overview of studies on variable number agreement in Brazilian Portuguese, regarding the variable usage of explicit and zero plural markers in both noun and verb phrases. Being among the most widely studied phenomena in sociolinguistics, NP and SV agreement studies provide a consistent picture of their social and linguistic embedding across multiple speech communities and have contributed to the debate on the outcomes of language contact, to the description of general constraints on natural languages (such as the effect of parallelism), as well as to discussions on linguistic prejudice outside of academia. This article summarizes the most relevant and recurrent constraints found for these variables and highlights their wider implications for language theory and for the social role of linguistics.
