3.1.6.Intransitive adpositions and particles
quickinfo
Intransitive adpositions allow modification for orientation and distance, as is shown in (76a) and (76b&c), respectively. The modifiers of distance can be amplifiers like ver'far', downtoning adverbs like vlak and pal, or nominal measure phrases like twee meter'two meters'.
76
| a. | dat | hij | de bal | recht/schuin | over schoot. | |
| that | he | the ball | straight/diagonally | over shot | ||
| 'that he shot the ball straight/diagonally over the goal.' | ||||||
| b. | dat | hij | de bal | ver/pal/vlak | over | schoot. | |
| that | he | the ball | far/close | over | shot | ||
| 'that he shot the ball far/right over the goal.' | |||||||
| c. | dat | hij de bal | twee meter | naast | schoot. | |
| that | he the ball | two meter | next.to | shot | ||
| 'that he shot the ball two meters next to the goal.' | ||||||
The particle of a particle verb can sometimes also be modified, as is illustrated in (77) for the particle verb voor/achter staan'to be ahead/down'; in (77a), we are dealing with an adjectival modifier, and in (77b) with a nominal measure phrase. Section 1.2.4, sub III, has shown that particles can normally permeate a clause-final verb cluster, but this is no longer possible if the particle is modified; the singly-primed examples show this for cases in which the modifier is pied-piped and the doubly-primed examples for cases in which the modifier is stranded.
77
| a. | dat | hij | bij winst | ruim voor | zal | staan. | |
| that | he | with gain | amply ahead | will | stand | ||
| 'that he will be amply ahead, when he wins.' | |||||||
| a'. | dat hij bij winst zal (*ruim) voor staan. |
| a''. | dat hij bij winst (??ruim) zal voor staan. |
| b. | dat | hij | bij verlies | twee punten | achter | zal | staan. | |
| that | he | with loss | two points | behind | will | stand | ||
| 'that he will be two points behind, when he loses.' | ||||||||
| a'. | dat hij bij winst zal (*twee punten) achter staan. |
| a''. | dat hij bij winst (??twee punten) zal achter staan. |
As usual, the nominal measure phrase can be extracted from the adpositional phrase by means of wh-movement. In (78a), this is shown for the intransitive adposition naast and in (78b) for the particles voor and achter.
78
| a. | Hoeveel meter | schoot | hij | de bal | naast? | |
| how.many meters | shot | he | the ball | next.to | ||
| 'How many meters did he shoot the ball besides to the goal?' | ||||||
| b. | Hoeveel punten | staat | hij | voor/achter? | |
| how.many points | stands | he | ahead/behind | ||
| 'How many points is he ahead/behind?' | |||||
