Abstract:

In this contribution, we will focus on the lectal conditioning of lexical collocations. First, we will analyze how register and national variety modify the distributional properties of AN collocations in Dutch. Next, we will analyze how those lectal variables alter the impact of lexical collocations on the alternation between two inflectional variants of the adjective in Dutch definite NPs with a singular neuter head noun.
