“…'So what?'. There is also a stronger form of the coordinator, enne, which is often used for introducing a new argument or discourse topic: Enne ..., ik wou je ook nog vragen of ... 'I also wanted to ask you whether ...'; see Overdiep (1937:562) and Corver (2014). Overdiep (1937:562) already noted that sentences with en in initial position normally relate to the °common ground (that is, the shared knowledge of discourse participants): the utterance En nu naar bed!…”

The multi-volume work Syntax of Dutch presents a synthesis of current thinking on Dutch syntax. The text of the seven already available volumes was written between 1995 and 2015 and issued in print between 2012 and 2016. The various volumes are primarily concerned with the description of the Dutch language and, only where this is relevant, with linguistic theory. They will be an indispensable resource for researchers and advanced students of languages and linguistics interested in the Dutch language. This volume is the final one of the series and addresses issues relating to coordination. It contains three chapters. Chapter 1 discusses the syntactic and semantic properties of coordinate structures and their constituting elements, that is, the coordinators and the coordinands they link. Chapter 2 discusses the types of ellipsis known as conjunction reduction and gapping found in coordinate structures. Chapter 3 discusses elements seemingly exhibiting coordination-like properties, such as dan ‘than’ in comparative constructions like Jan is groter dan zij ‘Jan is taller than she’.

“…The finding of sexist slurs 'damnable jade' and 'damnable witch' emphasizes Corver (2014) who states the cursing 'damn' may function as an adjective symbolizing individual's emotion. Although Corver (2014) has categorized 'damn' as a cursing (swearing) expression, the word 'damnable' cannot be separated morphologically as it comes from the word 'damn'.…”

The Identification of Slurs and Swear Words in Bronte Sisters’ Novels

This research aimed at identifying the categories of slurs, presenting how swear words expressed in male or female characters of Bronte sisters’ novels, and examining the social status scale in presenting slurs. The research was a qualitative content analysis of which process was categorizing, comparing, and concluding. The researchers employed MAXQDA 2018.1 (the data analysis tool) for analyzing the samples of five female and male main characters of the novel of Emily Bronte (Wuthering Heights), Charlotte Bronte (Jane Eyre), and Anne Bronte (The Tenant of Wildfell Hall). The research has shown three out of nine Thurlow’s pejorative items (social personality, phallocentric, and sexist), the possible formation of social personality slurs, the identification of swear words for showing speakers’ emotional states, and the influence of social status scale on the expression of slurs. It proves that slurs and swear words are used to deliver a derogatory attitude. The sexist slurs are not only delivered from male characters to female characters, but it is also found in Catherine Earnshaw targeting Nelly although they have similar gender background (female). Slurs are found in the characters from both high and low social rank since the plot develops the relationship amongst the characters. One unexpected finding is the different swear words between the characters. Swear words found in the novel are not only dominated by the word devil, damn, or by hell, but also the word deuce and humbug. The varied swear words proves that the male characters do not dominantly produce swear words, but also euphemistic expression.

Knowledge of number names is a subpart of our knowledge of language. This entry discusses various components of this knowledge, placing a special focus on the internal structure of number names and on their morphological marking. The following issues are addressed: the categorial nature of number names; the computational system underlying the formation of complex number names; the structural position of (components of) number names; the various morphophonological and morphosyntactic operations that are operative on numerals such as suppletion, contraction, and (c)overtness of functional heads; the formation of ordinals and the formation of counting numerals. The phenomenon of number names is considered from a comparative‐linguistic perspective: number names from both classifier languages and non‐classifier languages (macro‐variation) are discussed. Furthermore, certain formal phenomena related to number names are discussed from a cross‐dialectal (microvariation) and intra‐linguistic perspective. At a more general level, this chapter aims to show that there is a system of rules – a grammar – that underlies the formation of number names in human language.
