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 domain Linguistics 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

Corver, Norbert and Marjo van Koppen 2011 Micro-diversity in Dutch interrogative DPs: A case study on the (dis)continuous wat voor ’n N-construction The Noun Phrase in Romance and Germanic: Structure, variation, and change, Sleeman, Petra and Harry Perridon (eds.), pp. 57–88 | Article

This paper presents a micro-comparative perspective on the Dutch wat voor ’n N-construction (meaning: “what kind of N”).

Corver, Norbert and Huib Kranendonk 2008 Collective numeral constructions in Dutch: Remarkable plurals, regular syntax and silent nouns Linguistic Variation Yearbook 2008, van Craenenbroeck, Jeroen (ed.), pp. 233–268 | Article

In this paper, we discuss some collective numeral constructions from Dutch, which display a remarkable plural morpheme -en: wij vieren “the four of us”, met ons vieren “with four” and met z’n vieren “with four”. We argue that these at first sight idiosyncratic constructs are formed in syntax by… read more

Corver, Norbert 2007 Dutch 's-prolepsis as a copying phenomenon The Copy Theory of Movement, Corver, Norbert and Jairo Nunes (eds.), pp. 175–216 | Chapter

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
