2023 Reimagining language: Towards a better understanding of language by including our interactions with non-humans Linguistics in the Netherlands 2023, Leufkens, Sterre and Marco Bril (eds.), pp. 309–317 | Article
What is language and who or what can be said to have it? In this essay we consider this question in the context of interactions with non-humans, specifically: animals and computers. While perhaps an odd pairing at first glance, here we argue that these domains can offer contrasting perspectives… read more
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”).

2009 C-agreement or something close to it: Some thoughts on the ‘alls-construction’ Advances in Comparative Germanic Syntax, Alexiadou, Artemis, Jorge Hankamer, Thomas McFadden, Justin Nuger and Florian Schäfer (eds.), pp. 41–58 | Article

I discuss the variation concerning agreement with coordinated subjects in Dutch dialects. I show that a verb or a complementizer in several variants of Dutch agrees with the first conjunct of a coordinated subject and in other variants with the coordinated subject as a whole. I argue that this… read more
2007 Agreement with (the internal structure of) copies of movement The Copy Theory of Movement, Corver, Norbert and Jairo Nunes (eds.), pp. 327–350 | Chapter
This chapter discusses agreement between complementizers and coordinated subjects in Dutch dialects. In the relevant dialects, the complementizer must display agreement with the fi rst conjunct if the coordinated subject remains in [Spec,TP]. However, if the subject is extracted, this agreement… read more
2006 A new view on first conjunct agreement: Evidence from Dutch dialects Studies on Agreement, Costa, João and Maria Cristina Figueiredo Silva (eds.), pp. 121–140 | Article
