  • The Impact of Formal and Informal Pronouns of Address on Product Price Estimation

    Open AccessHelen De Hoop, Ward Boekesteijn et al.ARTICLELanguages2024Cited by: 2References: 25

    Previous literature has examined the effect of using a formal or informal second-person pronoun on consumers' appreciation of an advertisement and the advertised product and their purchase intention. This is the first study that additionally examines the effect of the use of either pronoun on product price estimation. In a between-subjects web experiment, Dutch participants evaluated product ads in which either an informal or formal pronoun of ad…

  • On the acceptability of the not so dummy auxiliary ‘do’ in Dutch

    Open AccessCansel Sert, Ferdy Hubers et al.ARTICLELinguistics in the Netherlands2023

    The auxiliary doen ‘do’ in standard Dutch is usually described as ‘dummy’ because it supposedly adds nothing substantial to the meaning of the sentence. We argue, however, that the auxiliary does have a function in the sentence, as a marker of either habitual or intentional aspect. In an online production experiment, we investigated the acceptability of the allegedly dummy auxiliary doen ‘do’. Results show that the degree of acceptability of the …

  • The use of the Dutch discourse particle eigenlijk by native and non-native speakers

    Open AccessNaomi van Rossem, Lotte Hogeweg et al.ARTICLELinguistics in the Netherlands2022

    In this paper, we investigate whether non-native speakers of Dutch use the interpersonal discourse particle eigenlijk differently than native speakers of Dutch. Particles such as eigenlijk are considered to be very difficult to learn for non-native speakers. Eigenlijk might be even more difficult to learn than other particles, because of its complex effect on the discourse. We tested whether non-native speakers of Dutch used eigenlijk differently…

  • Variation in the processing of grammatical norm violations

    Open AccessFloris Cos, Ferdy HubersARTICLELinguistics in the Netherlands2022

    So far, processing studies on grammatical norm violations (GNVs) in Dutch (i.e. als ‘as’ in comparatives) have mainly focused on general differences between GNVs and their grammatical and ungrammatical counterparts. The present study is the first to also systematically investigate between-participant and between-construction variation in the processing of GNVs, using a self-paced reading task. Age and educational level were investigated as potent…

  • The effect of prescriptivism on comparative markers in spoken Dutch

    Open AccessFerdy Hubers, Helen De HoopARTICLELinguistics in the Netherlands2013

    Dutch prescriptive grammar rules dictate that the complementizer dan ‘than’ should be used in comparative constructions of inequality. This has been an issue for grammarians from the sixteenth century onwards when als ‘as’ started to be used as an alternative form in this type of context. In order to find out why and when people choose one comparative marker over the other, we examined the use of these markers in the Spoken Dutch Corpus (CGN). We…
