This exceptional behaviour of reportatives is termed ‘reportative exceptionality’ (AnderBois 2014). In this… read more

This paper addresses the German seem-type verb scheinen and its Dutch ‘equivalents’ lijken and schijnen. On the basis of an analysis of spoken corpus data, it is shown that these verbs differ with respect to three parameters: 1) their constructional preferences 2) their evidential potential and 3)… read more
