Adults can reason about alternative utterances with the\u0000 distributive marker each, thereby ruling out distributive interpretations in favor of collective interpretations.\u0000 Experiment 1 used the covered-box paradigm to investigate whether adults and children make the comparisons predicted by Dotlačil’s\u0000 implicature account. Adults’ responses suggest that they made comparisons with internally generated alternatives, supporting the\u0000 implicature account. Moreover, children seem to do so from around 11 years old onwards, after they have learned the distributive\u0000 character of each. Experiment 2 excluded the possibility that our results in Experiment 1 were influenced by\u0000 participants’ exposure to both collective and distributive pictures, making the collective interpretation more salient. Both\u0000 experiments thus point towards an implicature underlying the adult collective preference.","PeriodicalId":35138,"journal":{"name":"Linguistics in the Netherlands","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45223003","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}

We find morphological priming effects with regular nominalizations (schorsen ‘suspend’\u0000 → schorsing ‘suspension’) as well as with irregular nominalizations (schieten ‘shoot’ →\u0000 schot ‘shot’). On this basis, we claim that, despite the lack of phonological identity between stem and\u0000 derivation in the case of irregular nominalizations, the morphological relation between the two forms, suffices to evoke a priming\u0000 effect. However, an alternative explanation, according to which the semantic relation in combination with the phonological overlap\u0000 accounts for the priming effect, cannot be excluded.","PeriodicalId":35138,"journal":{"name":"Linguistics in the Netherlands","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45761771","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}

Some researchers propose that German jeweils should be analyzed as a universal event-distributive quantifier. In contrast, other researchers claim distributive share markers (e.g. Serbian po) are simply event plurality markers. We investigated these claims with jeweils in two experiments. Experiment 1 tested if both individual and spatial (event) distributive readings are readily available for transitive sentences in German, and if there is an exhaustivity requirement on the restrictor argument. Experiment 2 was designed to force event-distributive readings and further disambiguate the results from Experiment 1. Our findings suggest that jeweils seems to be a true universal event quantifier, and highlight that distributive share markers can differ in fundamental features cross-linguistically.","PeriodicalId":35138,"journal":{"name":"Linguistics in the Netherlands","volume":"37 1","pages":"2-22"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48914970","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}

{"title":"Fifty years of morphological theory in the Netherlands","authors":"G. Booij","doi":"10.1075/avt.00014.boo","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1075/avt.00014.boo","url":null,"abstract":"In1965, I became a student of Dutch and general linguistics at the Rijksuniversiteit Groningen. At that time, an important change took place in the Netherlands as to the way in which languages are studied: not only as unique systems, but also as specimens of natural language in general. This meant that linguistic theory acquired a central position in the framing of research questions. The rise of generative grammar played an important role in this change of perspective within Dutch linguistics. In 1966, my Dutch linguistics professor Albert Sassen (1921-1999), a philologist and morphologist, introduced generative grammar into the Dutch study program in Groningen by discussing the first Dutch dissertation written in the framework of generative grammar, Kraak (1966), in his syntax course for 2 nd year students (I was one of them). A year later, professor Henk Schultink (1924-2017) of Utrecht University, who wrote a famous dissertation on the morphology of Dutch (Schultink 1962) and acted as co-supervisor of my dissertation (Booij 1977), published a long introductory article on generative grammar in De Nieuwe Taalgids, a traditional journal for students of Dutch (Schultink 1967). This illustrates how an older generation of linguists took these new developments very seriously. Thus, a new generation of linguists was raised with a strong orientation towards American and generative linguistics. Although the rise of generative grammar gave an enormous boost to grammatical research in the Netherlands, it took some time before morphological issues received proper attention, with at least one exception, Botha (1968), a dissertation written in the framework of generative grammar under supervision of Schultink, on compounding in Afrikaans and the nature of the lexicon. The first dissertation on morphology at MIT, written by Mark Aronoff in 1974, was published as Aronoff (1976). In 1975, Frans Zwarts invited Aronoff to give a lecture on generative morphology in Groningen. This event turned out to be the first Morfologiedag, a conference for Dutch linguists working on morphology. Jaap van Marle and I organized a second edition of this event at the University of Amsterdam in 1976. Since then, the Morfologiedag has been organized on an annual and sometimes bi-annual basis at various universities in the Netherlands and Belgium, and more recently it became a two-day conference, hence Morfologiedagen or Morphology Days. In addition, the TIN-dag (Linguistics in the Netherlands) became an important forum for morphological papers and discussions. The intellectual history behind Aronoff’s influential monograph is described by himself as follows:","PeriodicalId":35138,"journal":{"name":"Linguistics in the Netherlands","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43990293","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}
