Scrambling of definite object NPs in Dutch
The canonical view on Dutch scrambling in the syntactic literature is that it is subject to information-structural conditions: “new” information is located in a right-peripheral position in the middle field (Jan heeft waarschijnlijk het boek gelezen ‘Jan has probably read the book’) while given information is located in a more leftward position (Jan heeft het boek waarschijnlijk gelezen); see e.g. Verhagen (1986), Neeleman (1994a/b), and Broekhui…
VO or OV
This article sketches a new analysis of the diachronic development found in many West Germanic languages from a hybrid VO-OV order to a rigid OV or VO order. The discussion departs from the discussions in Struik & Van Kemenade (2020/2022) andStruik & Schoenmakers (to appear)on the diachronic development of English/Dutch, which focus on the role of object shift and information structure. My interpretation of their data will be based on an earlier …
The distribution of SE-reflexives in Dutch
Handling clause-bound SE-reflexives such as Dutch zich transcends the scope of Chomsky’s (1981) binding theory and has motivated various revisions of it. This article argues that canonical binding theory is essentially correct because SE-reflexives are not bound but inalienably possessed by their antecedent. Rooryck & Vanden Wyngaerd (2011) provides a syntactic implementation of this idea, which has mainly been elaborated for SE-reflexives in ref…

De constructie ‘Twee typen subject’
This paper discusses two binominal soort-constructions: twee typen subject ‘two types of subject’ and twee typen subjecten ‘two types of subjects’. The choice between singular or plural subject(en) is contextually determined and reflects a difference in meaning of the second noun. The combination of a plural first noun and a singular second count noun is infrequent, due to the special interpretation assigned to the singular noun
Why I will not become a corpus linguist
This article discusses the intuitionist approach to the study of syntax: the study of the internal structure of phrases/sentences with the help of data obtained by introspection. Some critics claim that this approach is inadequate (if not obsolete) on the assumption that introspection data are not empirical data and are therefore inherently inferior to corpus data based on ‘real language’. Fortunately, not all linguists who promote the use of cor…

Clausal ellipsis
This article compares two alternatives to the standard movement-and-deletion approach to clausal ellipsis, which postulates deletion of TP after the remnants of ellipsis are (sometimes exceptionally) A′-moved into the left periphery of the clause. One alternative is the in-situ approach, which denies the involvement of movement in the derivation of clausal ellipsis; it claims that clausal ellipsis can apply to any run-of-the-mill syntactic struct…
The syntax of Dutch gapping
This article takes as its point of departure Neijt’s (1979) claim that gapping is a rule of syntax with properties also found in wh -movement constructions. I will refine this proposal by concluding that gapping remnants are A′-moved into the clause-initial position (SpecCP) and/or the specifiers of functional projections such as TopP, FocP and NegP found in the middle field of the clause. I will further show that this approach sheds new light on…

The verb krijgen ‘to get’ as an undative verb
This article will argue that the typology of verbs currently assumed in generative grammar has an incidental gap; we would expect that besides dyadic verbs with two internal arguments, in which the theme argument surfaces as subject, there are also dyadic verbs with two internal arguments, in which the goal argument surfaces as subject. We will show that such verbs do indeed exist and are instantiated by the verb krijgen 'to get' and its cognates…
A typology of clause structure
Current generative grammar predicts a larger set of transitive structures than the six types normally mentioned in the typological handbooks (SVO, SOV, VSO, etc). The main cause of this discrepancy is that, whereas generative grammar investigates the hierarchical positions of the verb and its arguments, most typological research is concerned with their relative surface order. In order to bring together these two lines of research, we have to tran…

Locative inversion in English
This article aims at reformulating in more current terms Hoekstra and Mulder’s (1990) analysis of the Locative Inversion (LI) construction. The new proposal is crucially based on the assumption that Small Clause (SC) predicates agree with their external argument in phi-features, which may be morphologically reflected, as in the case of adjectival agreement in theItalian copular construction "Maria è malata-3sg.fem", or abstract, as in the English…

Infinitival complementation in Dutch
Les As. analysent la complementation infinitive en hollandais standard. Ils resument tout d'abord la classification traditionnelle des complements infinitifs en trois groupes : om + te-infinitif, infinitif simple et te + infinitif ; puis examinent le statut equivoque de te + infinitif. Ils discutent des conditions sous lesquelles l'Extraposition Restante est possible et concluent sur les consequences de cette etude pour la Theorie de Controles
The Syntactic Function of the Auxiliaries of Time
In Chomsky's Minimalist Program for Linguistic Theory (MPLT), movement is constrained by a locality theory on chain-links.1 Briefly stated, it is assumed that a constituent y may cross any position (3 and move to a position a, as long as á and â are equidistant from 7. As Chomsky demonstrates, this locality theory has several highly desirable consequences. However, Chomsky restricts his discussion to examples in the present tense, and at first si…

Undative constructions
In this article, we argue that the so-called semi-or krijgen-passive is transformationally derived, and hence that dative Case must be considered as a structural Case comparable to accusative Case.Further, we argue that the auxiliaries of the regular and semi-passive are responsible for the assignment of dative and accusative Case in the regular and semi-passive construction, respectively.Additional support for the claim that the (semi-)passive a…
