The General Society of Linguistics (Algemene Vereniging voor Taalwetenschap, AVT) in the Netherlands was founded 50 years ago. On the occasion of its 50 anniversary we were asked to look back and assess the achievements of the discipline of Phonetics, with special emphasis on the contribution made in the Netherlands in the last five decades, and speculate on developments that may take place in the next 50 years. Citing a well-known aphorism of disputed origin, predictions are extremely hazardous, especially when they are about the future, so that we are reluctant to engage in this second part of the assignment. Henry Ford, when introducing his first T-Ford model in 1928, told the assembled press: When fifty years ago people asked themselves how to travel faster, they could only think of breeding faster horses. Although Ford almost certainly never said anything of the sort, the message is clear enough. It is impossible to predict sudden breakthroughs in science and how they change the discipline. Therefore, we opt for the easier way out, and ask ourselves what ideas were around in phonetics at the end of the 1960s, and if anyone made any useful prediction at the time of what the field would be like by 2020.
荷兰语言学综合学会(generalsociety of Linguistics，简称AVT)成立于50年前。在其成立50周年之际，我们被要求回顾和评估语音学学科的成就，特别强调荷兰在过去五十年中的贡献，并推测未来五十年可能发生的发展。引用一句起源有争议的著名格言，预测是极其危险的，尤其是当它们是关于未来的时候，所以我们不愿意参与作业的第二部分。1928年，亨利·福特(Henry Ford)在介绍他的第一款T-Ford车型时对媒体说:“50年前，当人们问自己如何才能走得更快时，他们只能想到培育更快的马。”尽管福特几乎肯定从未说过这样的话，但传达的信息已经足够清楚了。科学上的突然突破以及它们如何改变学科是不可能预测的。因此，我们选择了一条更简单的出路，问问自己在20世纪60年代末，语音学领域有什么想法，以及当时是否有人对这个领域到2020年将会是什么样子做出了有用的预测。

We present a case study in the marking of the negative prefix in French gradable adjectives, where the productive marker iN- alternates with a number of unproductive prefixes, like dé(s)-, dis-, mal-, mé(s)-. We treat this as a classical case of allomorphy, and present an account of the distribution of these allomorphs in terms of the nanosyntactic mechanism of pointers, by which lexical items may point to other, existing, lexical items in the postsyntactic lexicon. We claim that unproductive lexical items are not directly accessible for the spellout mechanism, but only indirectly, via pointers. We show how the analysis accounts for lexicalised semantics in derivations, as well as cases where the formal relationship between derivational pairs is not concatenative, but substitutive.
我们提出了一个关于法语可分级形容词否定前缀标记的案例研究，其中生产性标记in -与一些非生产性前缀交替，如d (s)-， dis-， mal-， m (s)-。我们将其视为一个经典的异体现象，并从指针的纳米句法机制的角度阐述了这些异体的分布，通过指针，词汇项可以指向后句法词汇中其他现有的词汇项。我们声明，拼写机制不能直接访问非生产性词汇项，而只能通过指针间接访问。我们展示了分析如何解释派生中的词汇化语义，以及派生对之间的形式关系不是串联而是替代的情况。

Have-doubling constructions closely resemble periphrastic perfect tense constructions but have an additional, seemingly superfluous form of the verb have. Whilst these constructions are only found in a small number of modern Dutch dialects, they appear much more broadly in historical varieties of Dutch. In this article, I present new data from a corpus study of have-doubling constructions in Early Modern Dutch (ca. 1500-1700) which reveals both similarities and an important difference with the modern dialectal phenomenon. I argue that there are two structurally distinct types of have-doubling in this older period: one which contains a canonical adjective (i.e. with one internal argument) and one with a non-canonical adjective with a vP layer (Koeneman et al. 2011). I further show that this sheds new light on the observed link between doubling constructions and the rise of the periphrastic perfect tenses, with implications for the nature of this syntactic development.

Narrative fiction may invite us to share the perspective of characters which are very much unlike ourselves. Inanimate objects featuring as protagonists or narrators are an extreme example of this. The way readers experience these characters was examined by means of a narrative immersion study. Participants (N = 200) judged narratives containing animate or inanimate characters in predominantly Agent or Experiencer roles. Narratives with inanimate characters were judged to be less emotionally engaging. This effect was influenced by the dominant thematic role associated with the character: inanimate Agents led to more defamiliarization compared to their animate counterparts than inanimate Experiencers. I argue for an integrated account of thematic roles and animacy in literary experience and linguistics in general.

An eye-tracking experiment using the Visual World Paradigm (VWP) shows that in on-line sentence processing in English the argument of an unaccusative verb reactivates late after verb offset. In contrast to previous studies, this VWP experiment establishes the exact time course of this effect, which matches the time course previously found for Dutch, despite differences in word order between the two languages. Furthermore, it uncovers an early reactivation of the argument of unergative verbs that has previously gone unnoticed. Such an effect has previously been observed for Dutch, but not for English. Moreover, the effect seems to occur earlier in English than in Dutch. We suggest that this difference may be due to the more rigid word order of English, which provides the parser with more informative cues.

Although the Dutch verb spelling system seems very straightforward, many spelling errors are made, both by children and adults (e.g., Sandra, Frisson, & Daems 2004). These errors mainly occur with verbs with two or more homophonous forms in their inflectional paradigms. Ample experimental research has been carried out on this topic, but these studies hardly reflect everyday language behavior. In the current corpus study, we reassessed previously found experimental results, but now in a Twitter corpus containing 17,432 tweets with homophonous verb forms. In accordance with previous results, we found a clear preference for the suffix - compared to both - and - , as well as a frequency effect, resulting in fewer errors for more frequent word forms. Furthermore, the results revealed that users with more followers make fewer errors, and that more errors are made during the evening and night.
