SUMMARY
The volume 鈥淯nrealized Arguments and the Grammar of Context鈥� is edited by Chaves, Kay and Michaelis. It is intended for advanced scholars who are interested in conducting research on argument omission. It offers a detailed analysis of Null Instantiation (NI). This linguistic phenomenon provides evidence that a sentence may leave out an argument whether it is in the subject position as in 鈥樷垍 contains alcohol鈥�, object position as in 鈥榃e won 鈭呪�� or oblique object position as in 鈥楴ixon res
This dissertation investigates how kindergartners with and without Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) acquire cardinals and ordinals in two languages: Dutch and Czech. These languages might show different developmental patterns, because morphosyntactic cues relevant to number are relatively transparent in Dutch, but more opaque in Czech. The book also examines how Dutch children鈥檚 numerical abilities relate to broader linguistic and cognitive skills.
This work is the first to document not
Weinig is bekend over sommige grammaticale constructies in het Nederlands van de 15e, 16e en 17e eeuw die nu in onbruik zijn. E茅n ervan is de indertijd niet-frequente en vermoedelijk alleen schriftelijk voorkomende combinatie van mits met een onvoltooid deelwoord (pp): mits.pp. Teksten met mits.pp zijn niet altijd makkelijk te begrijpen, mede omdat mits in die tijd meerdere betekenissen had, en voorzetsel 茅n voegwoord was: causaal, instrumenteel, begeleidend (鈥榤et鈥�), conditioneel.

This dissertation is about multilingualism in early childhood education and care (ECEC), with a focus on the peer interactions and play of multilingual children. In many Western countries, including in the Netherlands, linguistic diversity in ECEC has increased. There are indications of language-based inequity in the literature: multilingual children in ECEC might not always experience many peer interactions and play of high quality, but it is unclear which factors might explain these findings.

This volume offers an overview of the major historical changes in ambiguously gendered Spanish nouns. Starting with gendered Latin cases, it analyzes gender transformation patterns in Spanish. By focusing on those nouns that do not show the consistent suffixal 鈥搊/鈥揳 alternation for masculine and feminine, this book studies the irregularities and distinctions which made these nouns unique from the perspective of grammatical gender. Why certain inanimate nouns like mano or d铆a did not conform to t
The growing number of the researchers have realized the necessity of the paradigm change in many fields in humanities from the theory-based towards more practice-oriented interdisciplinary studies. For example, mathematics and later cybernetics have made a great contribution to the development of new applied fields in linguistics such as Computational Linguistics and Corpus Linguistics. Quantitative methods and tools have become a dominating reality in humanities. In this connection, many resear

For 30 years, the EGG Summer School for Generative Linguistics has a clear and enduring mission: to provide affordable, high-level training in generative linguistics for students and early-career researchers, while fostering exchange and discussion between linguists from East and West in an open, grassroots, low-key, friendly atmosphere. Over the years (see previous schools ), the EGG has
In the last years, theoretically informed research on syntax of different varieties of German has gained momentum.

The papers will appear in printed form in a special issue of the journal ZDL, as in the last years. The conference languages will be German and English.
We invite contributions on syntactic research on dialects or other varieties o
