This paper illustrates the potential of construction grammar to uncover the integration of borrowed chunks. In focus is the emergence of the verb pimpen “to pimp” in Dutch, a rapid innovation from the English proper name Pimp My Ride. 

This chapter is a contribution to a reader about politically committed poetry in modern Dutch literature. It analyses a poem published in 1947 by the Flemish priest-poet Anton van Wilderode (1918-1998). 

Forthcoming publication.

This corpus study investigates the alternation between zo’n and zulk ‘such’ in front of plural and uncountable singular nouns, by putting three hypotheses to the test relating to lexical biases, function and register.

This study compares the factors that determine the alternation between a transitive construction and a reflexive construction among so-called 'psych verbs' in Belgian and Netherlandic Dutch

In this paper, we argue that understanding language variation can be advanced considerably by systematically formulating and testing hypotheses at various levels in the constructional network.

In this article, we propose the use of regularized regression (Lasso) with k-fold cross-validation to investigate lexical effects in grammatical variation.

This chapter presents a critical overview of the different - and sometimes conflicting - definitions of intersubjectivity found in the literature.
