SUMMARY The volume “Unrealized Arguments and the Grammar of Context” is edited by Chaves, Kay and Michaelis. It is intended for advanced scholars who are interested in conducting research on argument omission. It offers a detailed analysis of Null Instantiation (NI). This linguistic phenomenon provides evidence that a sentence may leave out an argument whether it is in the subject position as in ‘∅ contains alcohol’, object position as in ‘We won ∅’ or oblique object position as in ‘Nixon res

This dissertation investigates how kindergartners with and without Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) acquire cardinals and ordinals in two languages: Dutch and Czech. These languages might show different developmental patterns, because morphosyntactic cues relevant to number are relatively transparent in Dutch, but more opaque in Czech. The book also examines how Dutch children’s numerical abilities relate to broader linguistic and cognitive skills. This work is the first to document not

Weinig is bekend over sommige grammaticale constructies in het Nederlands van de 15e, 16e en 17e eeuw die nu in onbruik zijn. Eén ervan is de indertijd niet-frequente en vermoedelijk alleen schriftelijk voorkomende combinatie van mits met een onvoltooid deelwoord (pp): mits.pp. Teksten met mits.pp zijn niet altijd makkelijk te begrijpen, mede omdat mits in die tijd meerdere betekenissen had, en voorzetsel én voegwoord was: causaal, instrumenteel, begeleidend (‘met’), conditioneel. Verwarring

This dissertation is about multilingualism in early childhood education and care (ECEC), with a focus on the peer interactions and play of multilingual children. In many Western countries, including in the Netherlands, linguistic diversity in ECEC has increased. There are indications of language-based inequity in the literature: multilingual children in ECEC might not always experience many peer interactions and play of high quality, but it is unclear which factors might explain these findings.

This volume offers an overview of the major historical changes in ambiguously gendered Spanish nouns. Starting with gendered Latin cases, it analyzes gender transformation patterns in Spanish. By focusing on those nouns that do not show the consistent suffixal –o/–a alternation for masculine and feminine, this book studies the irregularities and distinctions which made these nouns unique from the perspective of grammatical gender. Why certain inanimate nouns like mano or día did not conform to t

The growing number of the researchers have realized the necessity of the paradigm change in many fields in humanities from the theory-based towards more practice-oriented interdisciplinary studies. For example, mathematics and later cybernetics have made a great contribution to the development of new applied fields in linguistics such as Computational Linguistics and Corpus Linguistics. Quantitative methods and tools have become a dominating reality in humanities. In this connection, many resear
