Abstract
This article takes a quantitative approach to the long-term dynamics of the preterite inflection in West Germanic,
with a special focus on Dutch. In a first step, we replicate two often-cited studies on English and German (Lieberman et al. 2007 and Carroll et al. 2012, respectively)
by looking at Dutch. This part also tackles some methodological shortcomings in the previous studies. In a second step, we delve
deeper into the evolution of the preterite morphology in Dutch in the last 1200 years, by looking at several factors which have
been previously only investigated in isolation or on limited time slices. Using multiple binomial regression analysis, the various
factors are studied under multifactorial control.
本文采用定量的方法来研究西日耳曼语中首选屈折的长期动态，特别关注荷兰语。首先，我们通过研究荷兰语，复制了两项经常被引用的关于英语和德语的研究(Lieberman et al. 2007和Carroll et al. 2012)。这一部分还解决了以往研究中方法论上的一些不足。在第二步中，我们通过观察几个因素，深入研究了过去1200年荷兰古物形态的演变，这些因素以前只在单独或有限的时间切片上进行了研究。采用多元二项回归分析，在多因素控制下对各因素进行了研究。
