  • Chapter
Language Change and Generative Grammar

Abstract

In Modern standard Dutch, a perfect tense is expressed by an instance of the temporal auxiliary zijn ‘be’ or hebben ‘have’ choosing a participial complement, like in English.

Notes

I would like to thank the following people for their invaluable comments on earlier versions of this paper: Ans van Kemenade, Nigel Vincent, Hans den Besten, Wim Klooster, Hans Broekhuis and Fred Weerman. I also want to thank the Institute of Dutch Lexicology in Leiden and especially Tanneke Schoonheim for their willingness and helpfulness in providing me with the data from the Corpus Gysseling of Early Middle Dutch. Of course, all errors are mine.
