1. Several types of first constituents in Dutch, as investigated using Corex:
a. Those containing “d-words” (VNW19,20,21 + d*)
b. Those containing any of Vnw19-21
c.
Those containing “d-adverbia” (i.e: toen, derhalve, dus)
(those with “toen” as VG2 do not count)
d.
All main clauses (SMAIN) containing a
first constituent
2. A CorpusStudio project on first constituents in Dutch:
a. The CorpusStudio project used for the CGN
b. The results of the CGN queries
3. A CorpusStudio project on first constituents in English:
a. The CorpusStudio project used for English
b. The results of the English queries
4. Do check out the Tagset used for CGN (the corpus of spoken Dutch)

History:
16/oct/2012 ERK PreCore results
8/sep/2011 ERK Adapted D-results, incorporating project FirstConstD_eng_V3
2/sep/2011 ERK Added PPfirst experiment results
15/jul/2011 ERK Added html files of Cesaxed texts
12/jul/2011 ERK CorpusStudio project V3 gives better results
2/jul/2011 ERK First results with Corex and CorpusStudio (V2)
[1] CGN experiments: E.R.Komen. English experiments: R.Hebing & E.R.Komen.
[2] D-words must be understood as all words marked with @cat=VNW19, 20, 21 for the CGN. English “D-words” are those occurring in NPs of type “Dem” or “DemNP”.
[3] D-adverbs are a selection of daar, d’r, hier variants with @cat=BW for the CGN. English “D-adverbs” are words labelled as “ADV…”, they should begin with d, t, ð, or þ, possibly preceded by for-, and some obvious ones like forth are excluded.
