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.).
