TY - JOUR AB - <p>This paper focuses on the intensifying use of the fake reflexive resultative construction,<br>as demonstrated in the example Hij lacht zich een breuk om die mop (tit. 'He laughs himself<br>a fracture because of that joke'). Although the literal use of the (English) fake reflexive<br>resultative construction has been the subject of several studies, scant attention has<br>been paid to the potential of this construction for conveying an intensifying meaning,<br>though these intensifying uses show an intriguing mix of productivity and lexical idiosyncrasy<br>that deserves careful analysis. This case study will zoom in on the use of the<br>intensifying fake reflexive resultative construction in present-day Belgian and Netherlandic<br>Dutch. The analysis will reveal some discrepancies between two national variants of<br>Dutch and shed light on the development of subschemas displaying various degrees of<br>productivity on the one hand and the possible lexicalisation of strong combinations on the<br>other.</p> AU - Emmeline Gyselinck, Timothy Colleman DA - 2015/1// DO - 10.21825/kzm.v69i0.17529 IS - 0 VL - 69 PB - Koninklijke Zuid-Nederlandse Maatschappij voor Taal- en Letterkunde en Geschiedenis PY - 2015 TI - Je dood vervelen of je te pletter amuseren?
