The nonuniform structure of Dutch N-V compounds

  • Chapter
Yearbook of Morphology 1998

Part of the book series: Yearbook of Morphology ((YOMO))

For comments and discussion I would like to thank Reineke Bok-Bennema, Geert Booij, Siebren Dyk, Jack Hoeksema, Gunlög Josefsson, Johan Kerstens, Vieri Samek-Lodvici, Mieke Trommelen, Fred Weerman, two anonymous reviewers, and audiences at the Taalkundig Colloquium at University of Groningen, Linguistics in the Netherlands 1998 at Utrecht University, and at University of Konstanz.
