Results show a significant preference for\u0000 the nominative form of the restricted object pronoun in sentence-initial position as it was chosen in 95% of the cases. In the\u0000 original object position this percentage is only 20%. The preference for a nominative pronominal object is considered a\u0000 grammatical norm violation. We account for this in terms of a combination of two factors. First, the presence of the relative\u0000 clause makes the object ‘long’. Second, the sentence-initial position is a syntactic position that is relatively far removed from\u0000 the original object position. We argue that when a long object is topicalized, there are too many intervening elements between the\u0000 pronoun and the verb of which it is the complement. If the distance between the pronominal object and the verb has become too\u0000 long, the object case fades from the working memory. This then results in the appearance of nominative case as the default case\u0000 for topicalized object pronominal relative clauses in Dutch.","PeriodicalId":35138,"journal":{"name":"Linguistics in the Netherlands","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45249877","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
