The interaction between morphology and syntax
This chapter discusses how morphology and syntax interact in the grammar of Dutch in various ways. The principle of Lexical Integrity is used to distinguish words from phrases. Syntax selects the appropriate inflectional forms of words, and word formation processes determine the syntactic valency of derived words. Syntactic constructions may require the use of specific morphological constructions (construction-dependent morphology). Morphological and phrasal coining of lexical units with the same meaning may compete or complement each other.
