A formal analysis of the infinitives that are introduced by aan het, op and uit
This paper shows how the analysis of the Dutch aspectual infinitives in Van Eynde (2025) can be modeled in Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG), see Pollard & Sag (1994) and Müller et al. (2021). After giving some motivation for formalization and for the choice of HPSG, we provide a summary of Van Eynde (2025) and an introduction to the HPSG framework. The core of the article presents a formal analysis, first of the progressive aan het-inf…
On the infinitives that are introduced by aan het, op and uit
Combinations of a locative preposition and an infinitive are often used to express aspectual relations. In Dutch the relevant combinations are those with aan het, op and uit. The first is the most studied, but also the least understood: its syntactic status is a bone of contention (Broekhuis et al. 2015), and the study of its meaning is skewed by the near-exclusive focus on the combination with zijn ‘be’. According to Coppen (2021) it is the grea…
On phrasal nominalization
The phenomenon of phrasal nominalization, as exemplified by the English gerund, raises a challenge for the assumption that a phrase XP is headed by a word of category X. Many proposals have been made to deal with phrasal nominalization, in both multistratal and monostratal frameworks. Some seek to fit it in the endocentric mold; others are plainly exocentric. Comparative evaluations tend to be made along partisan lines (multistratal vs. monostrat…
Pseudo-partitives in English
Pseudo-partitives are strings of the form [N 1 – of – N 2 ] in which N 1 denotes a quantity or amount of whatever it is that N 2 denotes and in which N 2 is a bare nominal. Such strings come in two types, depending on whether the combination shares the number value of N 1 or N 2 . The first type can be analyzed along familiar lines, but the second one is a hard nut to crack. The article presents existing treatments, showing that they all involve …
What participles are a mixture of
It is commonly assumed that participles show a mixture of verbal and adjectival properties, but the issue of how this mixed nature can best be captured is anything but settled. Analyses range from the purely adjectival to the purely verbal with various shades in between. This lack of consensus is at least partly due to the fact that participles are used in a variety of ways and that an analysis which fits one of them is not necessarily equally pl…
Agreement, disagreement and the NP vs. DP debate
Of special relevance for the NP vs. DP debate are nominals in which the determiner has other values for number, gender, case and/or person than the noun, for depending on whether such nominals share these values with the noun or with the determiner they provide evidence in favor of either the NP or the DP approach. This paper discusses some nominals of this kind and shows that they share the relevant feature values with the noun. It then develops…
Lessons from the English auxiliary system
The English auxiliary system exhibits many lexical exceptions and subregularities, and considerable dialectal variation, all of which are frequently omitted from generative analyses and discussions. This paper presents a detailed, movement-free account of the English Auxiliary System within Sign-Based Construction Grammar (Sag 2010, Michaelis 2011, Boas & Sag 2012) that utilizes techniques of lexicalist and construction-based analysis. The result…
Clustering and stranding in Dutch
This paper has both a descriptive and a theoretical aim. The descriptive one is to demonstrate that the phenomenon of clustering is not limited to verbs, but that it also affects adpositions. The theoretical one is to develop a formal analysis that captures the common properties of verb clustering and adposition clustering. For that purpose we employ the framework of Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar. Both the descriptive and the theoretical p…

Regularity and idiosyncracy in the formation of nominals
This paper explores the interaction of regularity and idiosyncracy in the formation of nominals. It treats both nominals whose formation is highly regular, such as red box , and nominals whose formation is rather idiosyncratic, such as the Big Mess Construction ( bmc ; so good a bargain ) and the Binominal Noun Phrase Construction ( bnpc ; her nitwit of a husband ). Both the bmc and the bnpc conform to productive patterns, but the proper place of…
Loose apposition
Loose appositional constructions consist of coreferring adjacent nominals. The relation between the nominals is different from complementation and modification, and shows some intriguing syntactic, semantic and pragmatic characteristics. To model them we employ the framework of Sign-Based Construction Grammar, enriching its inventory of constructions with a highly abstract one that models supplementation in general, and a more specific one that m…
Number agreement in copular constructions
This paper has both a theoretical and a methodological objective. The theoretical one concerns the modeling of number agreement in copular constructions. For that purpose it adopts the distinction, familiar from Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar, between morpho-syntactic agreement (also known as concord) and index agreement. The methodological objective concerns the demonstration of how treebanks can be exploited in order to guide the formulat…
Sign-Based Construction Grammar
Sign-Based Construction Grammar ( sbcg ) is, on the one hand, a formalized version of Berkeley Construction Grammar ( bcg ), and, on the other hand, a further development of constructionist Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar ( hpsg ). The volume edited by Hans Boas and Ivan Sag is the first book length presentation of the framework. Its centerpiece is a 130-page synopsis of the theory by Ivan Sag. The other contributions to the volume provide b…

NP-internal agreement and the structure of the noun phrase
For the analysis of the noun phrase, the treatment which currently prevails in generative grammar is the one in which the head of the noun phrase is identified with the determiner, rather than with the noun. This D(et)P treatment has the advantage of providing a uniform account of all syntactic categories, both the substantive and the functional ones, and it provides a natural way to capture the co-occurrence restrictions between nouns and determ…
