Populating the infrastructurethe case of the Netherlands Hans Bennis executive board of CLARIN-NL Meertens Institute (KNAW) CLARIN COORDINATORS BUDAPEST, June 29-30
the start in 2009 • 9 million Euro for CLARIN-NL for the period 2009-2015 (requested amount m€ 25) • concentration on text (language data for humanities research) • audio and video are left out, in contrast to the original proposal • social sciences are not included, in contrast to the orginal proposal • organizational structure: director, executive board, board, advisory panels (national and international) • substantial part of money will be spent in programmatic form through Calls • important goal / ambition: create broad support for CLARIN in humanities research in the Netherlands
Projects 2009 • technical projects (centers, metadata, web services, workflow, etc.) • centers: Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics (MPI, Nijmegen), Meertens Institute (Amsterdam), DANS (Den Haag) and Institute for Dutch Lexicology (INL, Leiden) • user survey • Call-1 (Demonstrator Projects or Resource Curation projects) • 12 projects (+/- € 60.000 each) • demonstrator projects • data curation projects

Research question • 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.?
Search 1: DynaSAND with text string and tag constructor: ‘dien’ as relative pronoun
Result of search 3: demonstrative ‘dien’ in elliptical nominal groups in DIDDD
