Articles

Broekhuis, Hans 2023 VO or OV: V to v or not to vLinguistic Variation 23:2, pp. 343–378 | Article
This article sketches a new analysis of the diachronic development found in many West Germanic languages from a hybrid VO-OV order to a rigid OV or VO order. The discussion departs from the discussions in Struik & Van Kemenade (2020/2022) and Struik & Schoenmakers (to appear) on the diachronic… read more
Broekhuis, Hans 2021 Chapter 11. The rise of the periphrastic perfect tense in the continental West Germanic languagesThe Perfect Volume: Papers on the perfect, Eide, Kristin Melum and Marc Fryd (eds.), pp. 261–290 | Chapter
This article adopts the traditional claim in Dutch linguistics that periphrastic perfect-tense constructions gradually developed out of copular-like constructions with have and be. It argues that this development was made possible by the introduction of two morphological rules. The first rule… read more
Broekhuis, Hans and Josef Bayer 2020 Clausal ellipsis: Deletion or selective spell-out?Linguistics in the Netherlands 2020, Tribushinina, Elena and Mark Dingemanse (eds.), pp. 23–37 | Article
This article compares two alternatives to the standard movement-and-deletion approach to clausal ellipsis, which postulates deletion of TP after the remnants of ellipsis are (sometimes exceptionally) A′-moved into the left periphery of the clause. One alternative is the in-situ approach, which… read more
Broekhuis, Hans 2018 The syntax of Dutch gappingLinguistics in the Netherlands 2018, Le Bruyn, Bert and Janine Berns (eds.), pp. 19–33 | Article
This article takes as its point of departure Neijt’s (1979) claim that gapping is a rule of syntax with properties also found in wh-movement constructions. I will refine this proposal by concluding that gapping remnants are A′-moved into the clause-initial position (SpecCP) and/or the specifiers… read more
Broekhuis, Hans and Norbert Corver 2017 Chapter 18. The expressive en maar-constructionCrossroads Semantics: Computation, experiment and grammar, Reckman, Hilke, Lisa Lai-Shen Cheng, Maarten Hijzelendoorn and Rint Sybesma (eds.), pp. 305–325 | Chapter
Abstract This article discusses constructions of the type En maar zeuren! ‘You keep on nagging’, which express a negative attitude of the speaker towards the proposition expressed by the construction. We will argue that en ‘and’ should be seen as a regular conjunction conjoining a… read more
Broekhuis, Hans 2010 A typology of clause structureLinguistic Variation Yearbook 2010, van Craenenbroeck, Jeroen (ed.), pp. 1–31 | Article
Current generative grammar predicts a larger set of transitive structures than the six types normally mentioned in the typological handbooks (SVO, SOV, VSO, etc). The main cause of this discrepancy is that, whereas generative grammar investigates the hierarchical positions of the verb and its… read more
Broekhuis, Hans and Ralf Vogel 2010 Crash-proof syntax and filtersExploring Crash-Proof Grammars, Putnam, Michael T. (ed.), pp. 245–268 | Article
This article argues that even when it turns out to be possible to develop a crash-proof syntax that only generates well-formed objects that satisfy the interface conditions, filters on the output of the computational system will remain an essential ingredient of the theory of syntax. This does not… read more
Broekhuis, Hans 2009 Holmberg’s Generalization: Blocking and push upAdvances in Comparative Germanic Syntax, Alexiadou, Artemis, Jorge Hankamer, Thomas McFadden, Justin Nuger and Florian Schäfer (eds.), pp. 219–246 | Article
Holmberg’s (1999) formulation of Holmberg’s Generalization states that Scandinavian object shift cannot cross any phonologically realized VP-internal material. This correctly predicts that object shift may not apply in, e.g., embedded clauses in Danish: since in these languages V-to-I applies in… read more
