Morozova, Irina and Sjef Barbiers 2024 How and why is ONE different?Linguistics in the Netherlands 2024, Bril, Marco and Kristel Doreleijers (eds.), pp. 228–244 | Article
This paper argues that the word for ONE in Russian and Dutch is not a cardinal numeral but a classifier with an unvalued [Unit:_] feature. The value of this feature, e.g., [person], [gender], [place] is provided by the syntactic environment of ONE. Cardinal numerals ≥ TWO are phrasal quantifiers… read more
Bogaards, Maarten, Ronny Boogaart and Sjef Barbiers 2022 The syntax of progressive and ingressive aanhet -constructions in DutchLinguistics in the Netherlands 2022, Vogels, Jorrig and Sterre Leufkens (eds.), pp. 2–20 | Article
This paper presents a novel syntactic analysis of the much-debated Dutch aanhet-construction, e.g. Pieter is aan het opruimen ‘lit. Peter is on the cleanup: Peter is cleaning up’. We show that the construction’s syntactic behavior varies with the matrix verb: progressive zijn ‘be’ versus… read more
Kroon, Martin, Sjef Barbiers, Jan Odijk and Stéphanie van der Pas 2019 A filter for syntactically incomparable parallel sentencesLinguistics in the Netherlands 2019, Berns, Janine and Elena Tribushinina (eds.), pp. 147–161 | Article
Massive automatic comparison of languages in parallel corpora will greatly speed up and enhance comparative syntactic research. Automatically extracting and mining syntactic differences from parallel corpora requires a pre-processing step that filters out sentence pairs that cannot be compared… read more
Barbiers, Sjef, Hans Bennis and Lotte Dros-Hendriks 2018 Merging verb cluster variationRomance Parsed Corpora, Tortora, Christina, Beatrice Santorini and Frances Blanchette (eds.), pp. 144–196 | To be specified
In this paper we argue that verb clusters in Dutch varieties are merged and linearized in fully ascending (1-2-3) or fully descending (3-2-1) orders. We argue that verb clusters that deviate from these orders involve non-verbal material: adjectival participles, or nominal infinitives. As a… read more
This paper discusses the consequences of some major recent developments in syntactic variation research: (i) the shift from a macro-comparative to a micro-comparative approach; (ii) the use of dialectological, sociolinguistic and theoretical methods to collect dialect syntax data; (iii) the… read more
Koeneman, Olaf, Marika Lekakou and Sjef Barbiers 2011 Perfect doublingLinguistic Variation 11:1, pp. 35–75 | Article
The focus of this paper is the syntax of the so-called perfect doubling construction as it occurs in dialects of Dutch, namely cases of compound tenses featuring an additional, participial have (or be). We examine the properties of the construction on the basis of recent fieldwork research, and… read more
Barbiers, Sjef 2010 Focus particle doublingStructure Preserved: Studies in syntax for Jan Koster, Zwart, C. Jan-Wouter and Mark de Vries (eds.), pp. 21–30 | Article
In German imperatives, topics and Wh -elements can optionally precede the finite verb, whereas in Dutch imperatives only left-dislocated constituents can. This paper argues that this contrast derives from a minimal morphosyntactic difference between Dutch and German. In Dutch, a null imperative… read more
