<br>><br>> Dear listmembers,<br>><br>> I have got a question concerning the 'Den' in _Den_<br>> Haag en _Den_ Bosch. It<br>> is not about the other (offical) names, but really<br>> about the form of the
<br>> article as such.<br>><br>> As far as I can see, the usage of 'de/den' follows<br>> the same pattern as in<br>> the Brabantian dialects, more specifically the usage<br>> of 'den' before male
<br>> nouns starting with a vowel, a labial and dental<br>> stop: den otto (and hence<br>> den (h)amer, den boom, den tand, etc.).<br>><br>> Now, my question is: can 'den' in Den Haag en Den<br>> Bosch be compared with the
<br>> Brabantian forms of the article, or is 'den' here an<br>> inflected form of the<br>> article, and hence not similar to the Brabantian<br>> forms.<br>><br>> Groetjes,<br>><br>> Frank [Verhoft]
