Abstract:
Sharing certain assumptions but differing in theory and practice, both
Columbia School linguistics (CS) and Cognitive Grammar (CG) have increasingly
supported their analyses with quantitative evidence. Citation of individual
sentences, in isolation or in context, has been supplemented with counts of
linguistic forms in texts, informant questionnaires, and perception tests. The
present volume, continuing a dialogue between CS and CG, offers six such
qualitative-quantitative studies, one on Afrikaans and five on Dutch. Topics
include (a) demonstratives, (b) pragmatic particles and imperatives, (c) a
puzzling “dismissive” idiom, (d) progressive aspect, and (e) indirect objects.
While CS is better suited for analyzing relatively closed systems (e.g. tense,
pronouns), CG provides more insight into the vagaries of the amorphous
lexicon. The author also offers personal remarks on “linguistics as a path”
and discusses how in one case a wrong prediction reflects his dual role as
both linguist and student of Dutch as a foreign language.
