“…The case for a modal interpretation of zullen, or indeed any future gram in weak-FTR languages, is compellingly presented by Broekhuis and Verkuyl (2014). They argue that since the Dutch present tense can be used to refer to a time span encompassing both before and after the time of speech, the contribution zullen must be purely modal (see also : Fehringer, 2018;Giannakidou, 2014). They give the following examples, wherein the uncontroversial modal auxiliaries of possibility, kunnen "may", and necessity, moeten "must", are contrasted with zullen "will":…”

“…Additionally to these shared ways of expressing epistemic modality, Dutch and German also have systems of modal particles which can affect the modal strength of FTR statements, often subtly changing the modal valence of an expression when they co-occur with other modal morphemes (Fehringer, 2018;Nuyts, 2000). While a limited set of modal particles appear to independently epistemically affect statements (see Tables 3-4), we will not spend much time discussing these, as they appear to be a relatively minor way of expressing epistemic modality (Nuyts, 2000), and are generally more involved in marking the epistemic states of discourse participants, or expressing discourse attitudes (c.f.…”

“…), this combination of zullen and gaan is "definitely not uncommon." No regional differences are mentioned, although it is well known that gaan itself as a future marker is more productive in BD (for example, Colleman 2000, Fehringer 2017).…”

“…Previously, primary data were often culled from monumental dialect atlases such as Blancquaert and Pée's Reeks Nederlandse Dialectatlassen (RND). 5 Since the 2000s, an ever growing body of (predominantly Flemish) studies has been going beyond impressionistic assessments of (mostly) absolute differences (in particular, Grondelaers, Speelman, & Carbonez 2001, Grondelaers et al 2002, De Sutter 2005, Tummers 2005, Vandekerckhove 2005, Diepeveen et al 2006, Speelman & Geeraerts 2009, Colleman 2010, Levshina et al 2013, Gyselinck & Colleman 2016, Fehringer 2017, Pijpops & F. Van de Velde 2018, Pijpops 2019, 2020. 6 Building on careful statistical analysis of corpus data, many of these studies were able to gauge not only the distribution of competing grammatical constructions in BD and ND, but, crucially, also the nature and the significance of the language-internal and language-external factors that determine choices in both varieties and the extent to which they do so.…”

“…There are also regional differences, for instance, gaan is more common and may be more grammaticized in West‐Flemish Dutch as compared to (Northern) Dutch (Behydt, 2005; Fehringer, 2018). Like will , modern zullen seems characterized by an admixture between modal and temporal semantics (Kirsner, 1969; also see: Janssen, 1989; Fehringer, 2018; Olmen, Mortelmans, & Auwera, 2009; Sluijs, 2011)—a statement that applies to many future “tenses.”…”
