Recursing in Dutch

Research output: Contribution to journalArticleAcademicpeer-review

Abstract

This article investigates the internal syntax of complex curse expressions in Dutch. It argues that they have the internal structure of coordinations and that the coordinated curse atoms are roots. It is further proposed that the expressive/affective meaning of curse expressions emerges from augmentative strategies at the level of curse atoms, syntax and sounds.
