  1. Demonstration of the Microcomparative Morphosyntactic Research Tool MIMORE Sjef Barbiers, Matthijs Brouwer, Jan Pieter Kunst, Folkert de Vriend Meertens Instituut, 2011

  2. Opening screen MIMORE

  3. Search options

  4. Demo: Research questions • The Standard Dutch [non-neuter] relative pronoun and distal demonstrative has the form ‘die’ (that, those). • We know that there are dialects that have ‘dien’ as a relative pronoun and/or as a distal demonstrative. • We would like to know if there is a correlation between ‘dien’ as a relative pronoun, ‘dien’ as a demonstrative preceding a noun, and ‘dien’ as a demonstrative in elliptical constructions. • The linguistic question behind this search is what the ‘-n’ on ‘die’ is: case, phonologically determined, etc.?

  5. Optional restrictions on the search
