  • Grammatical Gender Retrieval

    Open AccessAndreas Wölfle, Eva Knopp et al.ARTICLELanguages2026

    Research has shown that bilinguals’ first (L1) and second language (L2) interact constantly. One well-documented case is the gender congruency effect, where grammatical gender retrieval is facilitated when a noun has the same gender in both languages. While this effect has been extensively studied in the direction of the L1 influencing the L2, less is known about how gender retrieval in the L1 is influenced by gender in the L2. The present study …

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

    Open AccessHelen De Hoop, Ward Boekesteijn et al.ARTICLELanguages2024Citada por: 2Referências: 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…

  • You Can Help Us! The Impact of Formal and Informal Second-Person Pronouns on Monetary Donations

    Open AccessSebastian Sadowski, Helen De Hoop et al.ARTICLELanguages2024Citada por: 5Referências: 54

    Does it matter whether charitable organizations address potential donors with an informal or formal second-person pronoun in their appeal to donate money? This study shows that it does indeed make a difference. Using an informal pronoun of address can have a positive effect on intentions to donate money. An online experiment (n = 220) found that a charitable appeal to potential donors was more effective when an informal rather than a formal secon…

  • Past tense reference to future eventualities

    Open AccessHarvey Haans, Helen De HoopARTICLELinguistics in the Netherlands2023

    The simple past in Dutch, as in many other European languages, is not necessarily used to refer to a past eventuality. A Dutch example of a verb in simple past that does not refer to a past event, taken from the Spoken Dutch Corpus (CGN), is: Pa die ging morgen golfen ‘Dad is going to play golf tomorrow.’ Here, the past tense verb ging ‘went’ can be called a ‘fake past’, since it refers to a future eventuality, as can be seen from the adverb tomo…

  • 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 …

  • Argument doubling with proper nouns in spoken Dutch

    Open AccessImke Wets, Michelle Suijkerbuijk et al.ARTICLELinguistics in the Netherlands2023

    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…

  • From visual perception to inferential evidentiality1

    Iris Faber, Margit Rem et al.ARTICLENederlandse taalkunde2022

    Many languages use verbs of perception to express evidentiality. This paper studies the evidential use of the object-oriented perception verb eruitzien ‘look’ in Dutch. The results of a Twitter corpus study show that, whereas ziet eruit alsof ‘looks as if’ occasionally comes with an evidential interpretation, the construction ziet ernaar uit ‘looks like’ predominantly expresses inferential evidentiality. A diachronic investigation shows how the e…

  • 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…

  • Claiming common ground with utterance-final particle hoor in Dutch

    Open AccessHelen De Hoop, G MulderARTICLELinguistics in the Netherlands2022

    In this article we conduct a pragmatic analysis of the Dutch utterance-final particle hoor (lit. ‘hear’). Apparently, hoor has contradictory uses. It ex-presses politeness (involvement, togetherness), but it can also contribute to the face-threatening force of an utterance. We argue that there is a core meaning that all uses share, which is that by adding hoor , speakers claim a proposition at issue to be part of the common ground. This core mean…

  • Are Second Person Masculine Generics Easier to Process for Men than for Women? Evidence from Polish

    Open AccessAgnieszka Szuba, Theresa Redl et al.ARTICLEJournal of Psycholinguistic…2022Referências: 44

    In Polish, it is obligatory to mark feminine or masculine grammatical gender on second-person singular past tense verbs (e.g., Dostałaś list ‘You received-F a letter’). When the addressee’s gender is unknown or unspecified, masculine but never feminine gender marking may be used. The present self-paced reading experiment aims to determine whether this practice creates a processing disadvantage for female addressees in such contexts. We further in…

  • Tense and Aspect in a Spanish Literary Work and Its Translations

    Open AccessG Mulder, Gert-Jan Schoenmakers et al.ARTICLELanguages2022Citada por: 5Referências: 32

    This paper reports on a literary corpus study of four grammatical tenses across four European languages. The corpus consists of a selection of eight chapters from Javier Marías's Spanish novel Así empieza lo malo 'Thus bad begins', and its translations to English, Dutch, and French. We annotated 1579 verb forms in the Spanish source text for tense, and, subsequently, their translations in the other languages, distinguishing between two registers …

  • Strange nominative case in topicalized object pronominal relative clauses

    Open AccessMichelle Suijkerbuijk, Theresa Redl et al.ARTICLELinguistics in the Netherlands2021

    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…

  • Het verlies van een persoonlijk voornaamwoord

    Helen De HoopARTICLENederlandse taalkunde2020

    The loss of a personal pronoun. Why they will not be saying hun anymore The personal pronoun hun ‘them’ meets a lot of criticism in Dutch society, not just from language purists, but from language users in general. This can be attributed to a strong mistrust of the pronoun, given that it is well-known for violating no less than two prescriptive rules, one of which prohibits its use as a subject, and the other its use as a direct object or complem…

  • Evidence for Evidentiality

    Ad Foolen, Helen De Hoop et al.BOOKEvidence for Evidentiality2018

    Statements are always under the threat of the potential counter-question How do you know? To pre-empt this question, language users often indicate what kind of access they had to the communicated content: Their own perception, inference from other information, ‘hearsay’, etc. Such expressions, grammatical or lexical, have been studied in recent years under the cover term of evidentiality research. The present volume contributes 11 new studies to …

  • Singular Agreement in Special Partitive Constructions in Dutch

    Open AccessLotte Hogeweg, Stefanie Ramachers et al.ARTICLEJournal of Germanic Linguistics2018

    Dutch partitive constructions of the type one of the (few) X who Y show a striking pattern of singular subject-verb agreement in their relative clause. This paper presents a corpus study showing that the prescriptively “incorrect” singular agreement pattern is in fact the dominant pattern in Dutch. In order to explain this, we argue that this type of partitive construction often has a specific function in context, namely, to point out that the su…

  • The language of an inanimate narrator

    Open AccessThijs Trompenaars, Lotte Hogeweg et al.ARTICLEOpen Linguistics2018

    We show by means of a corpus study that the language used by the inanimate first person narrator in the novel Specht en zoon deviates from what we would expect on the basis of the fact that the narrator is inanimate, but at the same time also differs from the language of a human narrator in the novel De wijde blik on several linguistic dimensions. Whereas the human narrator is associated strongly with action verbs, preferring the Agent role, the …

  • Shifting animacy

    Peter De Swart, Helen De HoopARTICLETheoretical Linguistics2018

    We examine the effects of morphosyntactic marking and selectional restrictions of predicates on conceptual and grammatical animacy. We argue in favour of animacy as an ontological category with human, animate and inanimate entities representing discrete subtypes in the domain of entities. We distinguish between conceptual animacy, which is a gradient notion, and grammatical animacy, for which discrete, binary oppositions are needed. The main aim …

    First of all, we would like to thank the commentators for their illuminating and inspiring comments, and for the thought-provoking issues they raise.Below we will only briefly address some of these issues, and happily leave the rest to future research.All commentators agree that animacy matters in language, while there is also consensus that languages differ widely from one another in their lexical and grammatical manifestations of animacy distin…

  • Conflicting Constraints in the Comparative Cycle

    Open AccessLukas Reinarz, H De Vos et al.ARTICLEJournal of Germanic Linguistics2016

    Present-day Dutch shows an alternation reflecting a transition from the use of the comparative particle dan ‘than’ toward the particle als ‘as’ in comparisons of inequality. We argue that this transition—as well as the replacement of denn/dann by als in Early New High German, and als ‘as’ by wie ‘how’ in present-day German—results from a conflict between two competing principles, Economy and Iconicity. The conflict between these two constraints i…

  • On case and tense

    Sander Lestrade, Helen De HoopARTICLEThe Linguistic Review2016

    In this paper, we propose a uniform motivation for subject case alternations that align with distinctions in tense and aspect and those that align with a distinction between stage- and individual-level predication. We argue that both follow from an economical use of case marking that is made possible by grounding. If the argument function of an event participant can be determined on the basis of information available in the here and now, the use …
