Abstract This article discusses constructions of the type En maar zeuren! ‘You keep on nagging’, which express a negative attitude of the speaker towards the proposition expressed by the construction. We will argue that en ‘and’ should be seen as a regular conjunction conjoining a… read more
Corver, Norbert 2014 Floating around in the Dutch nominal domainLinguistics in the Netherlands 2014, Auer, Anita and Björn Köhnlein (eds.), pp. 26–38 | Article
In this article I investigate the internal syntax of Dutch nominal expressions like twee slangen van elk twee meter (two snakes of each two meter). The preposition van separates the quantifier elk from the expression twee slangen to which it is connected interpretatively. From a purely… read more
This paper presents a micro-comparative perspective on the Dutch wat voor ’n N-construction (meaning: “what kind of N”).

This chapter investigates Dutch expressions involving two instances of the bound morpheme –s, which is traditionally analyzed as a genitival case suffix, as in bloot-shoofds (lit.: bare-s-head-s; ‘bare headed; with the head bare’) or 's Zondags (lit.: -s Sunday-s; ‘on Sundays’). The fi rst instance… read more
