Constructional contamination between two constructions with krijgen ‘to get’ in Dutch
Two structurally unrelated constructions can affect each other’s realization through a process that has been called constructional contamination. According to this effect, lexemes participating in a grammatical alternation will deviate in their stochastic preference for an alternant if they appear frequently in a contaminating construction that is formally similar to the alternant in question. In the present article, we evaluate whether such cont…
Constructional contamination blocking full-fledged alternation? (The lack of) word order variation in Dutch verb clusters with resultative krijgen ‘to get’
In Dutch verb clusters consisting of an auxiliary and a past participle, both orders of participle and auxiliary are fine. This distinguishes auxiliaries from copular verbs combined with an adjectival participle, for which only the [Part + V]-order is straightforwardly possible. Reference grammars claim that for the resultative krijgen -construction, the order krijgen ‘to get’ + participle is ungrammatical and that, thus, the construction is adje…

Volgordevariatie in groepen met receptief krijgen + voltooid deelwoord in de Nederlands Nederlandse krantentaal1
This article presents the results from a corpus-based investigation of the word order variation observed in verb clusters with ‘receptive’ or ‘semipassive’ krijgen ‘to get’ + a past participle, i.e. between the order in dat hij het boek overhandigd kreeg and the one in dat hij het boek kreeg overhandigd ‘that he was handed (literally: got handed) the book’. In contrast to the same word order variation in clusters with the much more frequent (and …

The Curious Case of Ditransitive Pity , or the Productivity of an Unproductive Pattern
This article starts out from the observation that, in present-day English, pity is occasionally used in the ditransitive [Subj V Obj1 Obj2] argument structure pattern, although the verb denotes an emotional state and can hardly be construed as encoding an event by means of which a transfer of possession is potentially brought about. Since the English ditransitive construction is undergoing a semantic specialization process, one hypothesis that co…

Twee vroege constructiegrammaticale studies in Nederlandse Taalkunde
Two early construction-grammatical studies in Dutch Linguistics. Looking back onSchermer-Vermeer (2001) andVerhagen (2003a) This article looks back on the articles by Schermer-Vermeer (2001) and Verhagen (2003a), on the double object construction and a Dutch equivalent of the English ‘way’-construction, respectively, which can be considered the first two articles to have appeared in Nederlandse Taalkunde that address problems of Dutch grammar fro…
From noun to intensifier
Introduction
In a very broad sense, verb classes can be defined as sets of verbs that share particular linguistic properties."Transitive" verbs, for instance, could be said to constitute a verb class on the basis of their shared grammatical property of being able to occur in transitive constructions.As such, this overarching property would encompass a very large set of verbal lexemes, which share the same general syntactic feature but may well form a quite he…
The Dutch evidential NCI
Present-day Dutch has two entrenched “grammatical” hearsay evidentials: a construction with zou (originally the past tense form of the verb zullen , cognate with German sollen ) and a construction with schijnen (literally, ‘seem’). The closest English equivalent of both constructions is the “evidential nominative and infinitive” (NCI), which pairs an evidential meaning with the morphosyntactic pattern [SBJ be X ed to Inf]. This is a highly produc…
The syntactic flexibility of (new) verbs of instrument of communication
In this paper, the structural possibilities of well-established ‘verbs of instruments of communication’ (Levin 1993) such as telephone , fax and telegraph are compared with the syntactic possibilities of recent newcomers to the field such as skype and blackberry . The analysis, which is based on extensive web-based material shows that the structural possibilities of older members are more diverse than reported in previous studies, while the recen…
Constructional semantics on the move
In this article we tackle the issue of diachronic variation in constructional semantics through an exploration of the (recent) semantic history of the well-established English ditransitive or double object argument structure construction. Starting from the assumption that schematic syntactic patterns are not fundamentally different from lexical items, we will show that — similar to the diachronic semantic development of lexemes — the semantics of…
Believe -type raising-to-object and raising-to-subject verbs in English and Dutch
The so-called ‘raising-to-subject’ pattern that verbs of the type believe can occur in is usually treated as the passive alternative for the so-called ‘raising-to-object’ pattern. In addition to broadening the empirical basis for the opposite claim that the English and Dutch raising-to-subject (or ‘nominative and infinitive’) patterns have a special functionality which is different from that of the passive construction, this paper specifically ex…
The semantic range of the Dutch double object construction
Just like its English counterpart (cf. Goldberg 1995), the Dutch double object construction is a prime example of a highly polysemous argument structure construction, with a basic ‘X causes Y to receive Z’ sense and several extended meanings which depart from the prototype in various respects and to varying degrees. This paper provides a corpus-based overview of the semantic structure of this construction, following the multidimensional approach …
Caused motion’? The semantics of the English to-dative and the Dutch aan-dative
Both English and Dutch feature a variety of verbs of possessional transfer which display the phenomenon of dative alternation. They can either be used in a double object construction with unmarked NP theme and recipient objects or in a so-called “prepositional dative” construction in which only the theme is encoded as a bare NP object and the recipient is marked by a preposition. Within this context of dative alternation, this study zooms in on t…
Verb disposition in argument structure alternations
Accounting for ditransitive constructions with envy and forgive
This paper presents an in-depth analysis of the English verbs envy and forgive in the ditransitive argument structure pattern [Sbj V Obj Obj]. Since the ditransitive construction is often associated with a basic ‘transfer of possession’ meaning in existing analyses of its constructional semantics, the occurrence of verbs like envy and forgive in this pattern is quite exceptional and has often been treated as an idiosyncratic use (see e.g. Green 1…
