Linguistics in Netherlands

More about the book

This work encompasses a diverse range of topics in linguistics, featuring contributions from various experts. It begins with an exploration of long-term voice and speech characteristics, followed by an analysis of Icelandic vowel lengthening within prosodic phonology. The grammatical functions and agreement in Warlpiri are examined, alongside a crosslinguistic perspective on acquiring pronominal reference. The text delves into contrastive left dislocation constructions, verb order, and a CV analysis of vowel hiatus in Kasem. Additionally, it discusses passivization in Flemish dialects and phonetic correlates of stress patterns in Dutch adjectives. Other topics include precedence in Jacaltec, the relationship between passives and participles, and an autosegmental analysis of reduced vowel harmony systems. The work addresses polarity-sensitivity, metrical adjunction conditions, and the stress behavior of non-native words in Dutch. It also investigates transitivity in non-configurational languages, syllable reduplication, and the grammatical relations of deverbal adjectives. The vocalization of /l/ in standard Dutch is studied, along with time intervals across intensional domains and the interaction of backness and rounding harmony. Lastly, it covers phonetic context effects, rhythm in stress rankings, and morphological structures in Sierra Miwok associative morphology.
