| 1 |
Students will be able to give an account of the principles that govern word order in Dutch, more specifically their functional and communicative aspects, in order to develop the students' profound grammatical knowledge. Students will be able to analyse empirical data according to several theoretical frameworks. Students will be able to confront and evaluate hypotheses, methods and theorietical frameworks applied to different aspects of word order in Dutch. |
