Abstract
Two early construction-grammatical studies in Dutch Linguistics. Looking back onSchermer-Vermeer (2001) andVerhagen (2003a)
This article looks back on the articles by Schermer-Vermeer (2001) and Verhagen (2003a), on the double object construction and a Dutch equivalent of the English ‘way’-construction, respectively, which can be considered the first two articles to have appeared in Nederlandse Taalkunde that address problems of Dutch grammar from an explicitly constructionist perspective. I illustrate how, on the basis of data from a large web corpus such as NLCOW14, the formal and semantic analyses offered in the two articles can be refined in a number of ways, but I also show that they include hypotheses and ideas that are still most relevant and relate to topical discussions in construction grammar.
