Abstract:

This dissertation investigates how syntactic parameters affect grammatical
changes in a language contact situation. The empirical domain is grammatical
changes in the Frisian verbal domain due to contact with Dutch. Three verbal
constructions that show variation between Dutch and Frisian will be discussed.
The first, the use of infinitival suffixes (-ən vs. -ə), is present in Frisian
but absent in Dutch. The second and the third, noun incorporation patterns
(oan’t messeslypje, “at the knife-sharpen, sharpening knives”) and the
absentive (Hy is te fiskjen, “He is off fishing”) are found in both Frisian
and Dutch but their properties differ. The thesis argues that the type of
parameter that underlies these variation patterns between Frisian and Dutch (a
Merge, Move or Spell-out parameter) is related to the kind of change that is
found given the contact between the two languages.
