A contrastive look at English and Dutch (negative) imperatives Universiteit Antwerpen
Somewhat surprisingly, the imperatives of the Germanic neighbor-languages of English and Dutch have not yet been compared in a systematic, corpus-based way. This paper is a first step towards such a contrastive study. Firstly, it looks at the frequencies of imperative subtypes in the spoken part of the International Corpus of English - Great Britain and in a comparably compiled Northern Dutch corpus out of the Spoken Dutch Corpus. These ...
Deictification: the development of secondary deictic meanings by adjectives in the English NP KU Leuven
In this article we make a case for recognizing deictification as a type of grammaticalization and semantic shift in the NP analogous to auxiliarization in the VP. The specific analogy we point out is between lexical verbs that grammaticalize into secondary auxiliaries bound by the finite, as in is going to, has to + verb, and lexically full adjectives that grammaticalize into postdeterminers bound by the primary determiner, as in a different, ...

Agent-Based Models of Strategies for the Emergence and Evolution of Grammatical Agreement Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Grammatical agreement means that features associated with one linguistic unit (for example number or gender) become associated with another unit and then possibly overtly expressed, typically with morphological markers. It is one of the key mechanisms used in many languages to show that certain linguistic units within an utterance grammatically depend on each other. Agreement systems are puzzling because they can be highly complex in terms of ...
Die zwarU+2026 aber-Relation im Gegenwartsdeutschen: Funktionsweise: Variation: Grammatikalisierung Universiteit Gent
Ausgehend von der im Handbuch der deutschen Konnektoren, in der Deutschen Grammatik des IDS und anderswo erwähnten auffallenden Ausdrucksbreite der zwar U+2026 aber-Verknüpfung im Gegenwartsdeutschen setzt sich der vorliegende Beitrag zwei Ziele: wichtige Aspekte der Variation von zwar U+2026 aber zu dokumentieren sowie Fragestellungen im Hinblick auf einräumende Ausdrücke im Allgemeinen und zwar U+2026 aber im Besonderen zu formulie-ren, denen ...

La evolución de las perífrasis verbales causativa e incoativa con poner en español : cambios de construcción y extensiones metafóricas Universiteit Gent
This paper deals with the historical evolution of the causative and inchoative periphrases with poner in Spanish. In these constructions, poner functions as an auxiliary verb, combining with a subordinate infinitive to which it adds a causative (poner a alguien a trabajar) or an inchoative aspectual meaning (ponerse a trabajar). The aim of this paper is twofold. It aims (i) to determine when and how both periphrases developped out of the basic ...
