Rising declaratives in Dutch: The element of surprise

Bachelor thesis | Taalwetenschap (BA)
This thesis presents a preliminary theory on the occurrence of rising declaratives in Dutch. The analysis consists of a series of hypotheses that were tested in a pilot experiment. The most important claim in the theory is that the element of surprise plays an important role in the licensing of the rising declarative in Dutch. This claim was partially supported by the data.
