Visiting PhD student Ann-Sophie Vrielycnk presents her doctoral project. All interested are welcome!
This presentation offers an overview of my PhD project on transitivizing markers on verbs in Dutch. These verbal markers can be divided into two main types: separable particles and inseparable prefixes, most notably the prefix be-. T
he project focuses on the diachronic development and semantic properties of these markers, investigated through a series of case studies. I will first present the results of earlier case studies, before turning to a discussion of the prefix be-. In doing so, I will introduce a new case study (in collaboration with Evie Coussé) and discuss its preliminary findings.
