Abstract
This chapter deals with three interrelated topics. Section 3.2 is concerned with the classification of nouns in English and Dutch and with the ways in which the two languages express number, case and gender distinctions. The structure of the noun phrase in English and Dutch is compared in section 3.3. It is in this area that some of the major syntactic differences manifest themselves. Section 3.4 deals with pronouns and pays some attention to Dutch er and its English equivalents.
