by Hans Broekhuis, Norbert Corver
Part of the Comprehensive Grammar Resources series
Hardback
Description
The Syntax of Dutch aims at presenting a synthesis of the currently available syntactic knowledge of Dutch.
It is primarily concerned with language description and not with linguistic theory, and provides support to all researchers interested in matters relating to the syntax of Dutch, including advanced students of language and linguistics.
Syntax of Dutch: Verbs and Verb Phrases consists of three volumes.
Volume 1 opens with a general introduction to verbs, including a review of various verb classifications and discussions on inflection, tense, mood, modality and aspect.
This is followed by a comprehensive discussion of complementation (argument structure and verb frame alternations).
Volume 2 continues the discussion of complementation, but is more specifically focused on clausal complements: the reader will find detailed discussions of finite and infinitival argument clauses, complex verb constructions and verb clustering.
Volume 3 concludes with a description of adverbial modification and the overall structure of clauses in relation to, e.g., word order (verb placement, wh-movement. extraposition phenomena, scrambling, etc.).
