  • Article Doubling

    Open AccessMarika LekakouOTHERThe Wiley Blackwell Companion to…2017

    This chapter deals with the doubling of the definite and indefinite article. After a brief introduction to the syntactic and semantic function of (in)definite articles and to the relevance of doubling for syntactic and semantic research, I review the main instantiations of each type of phenomenon. I deal with definite doubling as it is attested in North Germanic languages, in Modern Greek, and in Hebrew. Doubling occurs in these varieties predomi…

  • Perfect doubling

    Olaf Koeneman, Marika Lekakou et al.ARTICLELinguistic Variation2011Cited by: 2

    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 propose an analysis, whose starting point is the assumption that auxiliary doubling as such does not exist; what we have, rather, is the perfect tense of …

  • Syntactic doubling and the structure of wh -chains

    Open AccessSjef Barbier, Sjef Barbiers et al.ARTICLEJournal of Linguistics2009Cited by: 3References: 5

    This paper discusses cases of syntactic doubling in wh -dependencies attested in dialects of Dutch, where more than one member of the same chain is spelled out. We focus on cases of non-identical doubling, in which the chain links spelled out have different forms. We demonstrate that the order of elements in a chain is fixed: the first (or syntactically higher) one is less specific that the second one. We argue that this generalization follows fr…

  • Microvariation in Syntactic Doubling

    Lambertus Christiaan Jozef Barbiers, M H van der Ham et al.EDITORBOOKMicrovariations in Syntactic…2008

    Syntactic doubling is the phenomenon in which a constituent, i.e., a morphosyntactic feature, morpheme, word or phrase, is expressed two or more times within a clause. Since such duplicates are often redundant in that they do not contribute to semantic interpretation, the question arises as to why they are possible or necessary. This theoretical question becomes even more urgent in view of the fact that closely related language varieties such as …
