Project
A diachronic investigation of the Dutch 'mental state predicates'
This project involves a diachronic (historical linguistic) study of the Dutch mental state predicates 'denken' ('think'), 'geloven' ('believe'), 'vermoeden' ('suppose') and 'vinden' ('find, consider'), on the basis of corpus data from different stages of the language since Old Dutch, in view of a number of theoretical discussions in historical and general linguistics.
