We present a corpus of 8,400 Dutch sentence pairs, intended primarily for the grammatical evaluation of language models. Each pair consists of a grammatical sentence and a minimally different ungrammatical sentence. The corpus covers 84 paradigms, classified into 22 syntactic phenomena. Ten sentence pairs of each paradigm were created by hand, while the remaining 90 were generated semi-automatically and manually validated afterwards. Nine of the …
Comparing syntactic and discourse accounts of islands and parasitic gaps
This study evaluates a recent account of islands and parasitic gaps, which proposes that island violations are unacceptable in part because they contain a referring argument in the predicate that contributes discourse-processing complexity. In two acceptability judgment experiments in Dutch, participants rated three types of filler-gap constructions that were preceded by a context manipulating the discourse accessibility of a referring argument i…
Argument doubling with proper nouns in spoken Dutch
Argument doubling, also known as (contrastive) left-dislocation, is common in spoken Dutch, but it is unclear exactly what triggers it. Earlier proposals in the literature showed that the construction is not used for marking contrast, and suggested it is used for marking shifted topics instead. However, the results from a Spoken Dutch Corpus study on argument doubling with proper nouns demonstrate that topic-shift does not adequately characterize…
De dochter doet een powernap
While kinship relations in Dutch are usually introduced by a possessive determiner, Twitter users have recently been observed to use a definite article in that position. To learn more about the characteristics of this construction, we performed an exploratory investigation of the definite article possession construction with Dutch kinship terms on Twitter. We analysed 100 tweets for 24 kinship terms each, and annotated for the type of pre-nominal…
Strange nominative case in topicalized object pronominal relative clauses
In an online production experiment, we investigated the effect of sentence position on the preference for either a nominative or object form of an object pronoun restricted by a relative clause in Dutch. Results show a significant preference for the nominative form of the restricted object pronoun in sentence-initial position as it was chosen in 95% of the cases. In the original object position this percentage is only 20%. The preference for a no…
