Dutch compound constructions in additional language acquisition
Studies have demonstrated that Dutch has a much stronger tendency towards compounding than French (e.g., Du. badkamer vs Fr. salle de bains ‘bathroom’) when adopting a restrictive approach of compounding in which the presence of prepositions and/or internal inflection in multi-word expressions is considered evidence for their syntactic formation. The example above illustrates that Dutch compounding differs from French in another important aspect:…
Een pracht van een constructie vs. een prachtconstructie
This paper aims to revisit the Dutch Binominal Expressive Construction (cf. een schat van een kind) through an extensive corpus study and to explore its comparability with a potential morphological counterpart in the form of a [N1 N2]N2 compound. We focus on four positively-connotated N1s, namely schat ‘treasure’, droom ‘dream’, pracht ‘splendor, beauty’ and wonder ‘miracle’, three of which occur in both the syntactic and the morphological patter…

Whilst the links between learner corpus research (LCR) and Second Language Acquisition (SLA) have long been debated, McEnery et al. (2019. “Corpus Linguistics, Learner Corpora, and SLA: Employing Technology to Analyze Language Use.” Annual Review of Applied Linguistics 39: 74-92. doi:10.1017/S0267190519000096) claim that learner corpus data are not yet sufficiently integrated in SLA research. This article aims to go one way towards bridging the L…
Receptive knowledge of intensifying adjectival compounds
Languages differ in their preferences for particular intensifying constructions. While intensifying adjectival compounds (IACs) (e.g. ijskoud, ice-cold) are productively used to express intensification in Dutch and English, in French this construction is hardly productive. Consequently, French-speaking learners may encounter difficulties acquiring IACs in Dutch/English. As part of a research project on CLIL in French-speaking Belgium, we explore …

Asymmetries, mismatches and construction grammar
In the early 20th century, Ferdinand de Saussure considered the sign, which is defined as the union of an acoustic image (Fr. signifiant; E. signifier) and a concept (Fr. signifié; E. signified), as the cornerstone of linguistic theory and he laid the foundation for the contemporary discussion of the relationship between form and meaning. In most of the theoretical developments that followed, it has been implicitly and explicitly assumed that the…
The changing functions of competing forms
The relation between functionally similar forms is often described in terms of competition. This leads to the expectation that over time only one form can survive (substitution) or each form must find its unique niche in functional space (differentiation). However, competition cannot easily explain what causes functional overlap or how form-function mappings will be reorganized. It is argued here that the changes which competing forms undergo are…
Morphological transposition” as the onset of recategorization
Category change and recategorization processes have received renewed attention in recent years. In this paper, we focus on the shift from noun to adjective on the basis of a corpus-based study of the Dutch lexical item luxe ‘luxury; luxurious’. What is particularly interesting about this case is that in some contexts luxe combines nominal and adjectival properties (e.g. een erg luxe hotel ‘a very luxury/luxurious hotel’) and displays some interse…
From Noun to Evaluative Adjective
In this study, we address the ways in which nouns can give rise to new adjectives in Dutch and German. More specifically, the focus is on words with an evaluative meaning that can be used in a wide range of morphological and syntactic constructions in recent (and informal) language. For example, the German noun Hammer ‘hammer’ can be used in Hammervorstellung ‘very good performance’ or hammer film ‘fantastic film’. In the literature, two distinct…
When Two Paths Converge
Dutch reuze(n)(-) has a wide range of synchronic uses that form part of a broad categorical and semantic continuum. Derived from the noun reus ‘giant’, it is often used to express a comparison in nominal and adjectival compounds (for example, reuzegroot ‘as big as a giant’, lit. ‘giant-big’), but it can also have a merely intensifying function (for example, reuzeleuk ‘very nice’, lit. ‘giant-nice’). Moreover, it currently occurs as a free adjecti…

From adjective to affix in Dutch and French
This study, which builds on previous work on the grammaticalization of lexemes into affixes ( affixization ), is devoted to the evolution from adjective to affix (prefix or suffix) in Dutch and French. By means of several case studies ( oud- ‘old’, dol- ‘mad’, nouveau- ‘new’, -vriendelijk ‘friendly’) which are assessed against grammaticalization parameters such as de- or resemanticization and decategorization, I show that the affixization of adje…
L'emploi « préfixal » des prépositions entre et tussen
The central aim of this paper is to study the interaction between the grammaticalization process by which prepositions may develop into prefixes, on the one hand, and French and Dutch word structure, on the other hand. More particularly, it will be investigated whether the degree of grammaticalization of a bound preposition is influenced by the category it introduces (verb, noun, adjective, adverb) and whether this influence is the same in French…
