Preliminary Recommendations

 

Type: Language-specific features

Dutch grammar distinguishes two subcategories of adverbs. One category is called pronominal adverb, because it has the same referential function as a pronoun. The other is called conjunctival adverb, because it functions as a conjunction.

The table below is a proposal for Dutch, not a CELEX table.

Attribute Value Du. example Du. tag

Type normal (hij kmot) vaak Adv

pronominal (Ik reken) erop PronAdv

daar (houk ik van) SepPronAdv

conjunctival bovendiven (is hij ziek) ConjAdv waar (het betref)

As pronominal adverbs are separable word forms, Dutch needs a way of marking the following three possibilities:

1. The pronominal adverb as a whole: Tag = PronAdv
2. The first part of a separable pronominal adverb: Tag = SepPronAdv
3. The second part of a separable pronominal adverb: Tag = SepAdp (see Adpositions). This can be an L2b tag.
