Like its English counterpart such, Dutch zo’n has identifying and intensifying uses. The established pathway from the former to the latter is found to constitute a proportional rather than a discrete shift here. The strong presence of intensifying uses from the start, as compared to the older Dutch marker zulk, is argued to be due to preexisting constructions that are alike formally and convey intensification. Zo’n is also found to have a recognitional and an approximating use. The case is made that the former has evolved out of the identifying use and that the latter is a development which is independent from the other uses functionally but has modeled itself on them formally. Finally, it is argued that the semantic shift from identification to intensification is best captured by the well-known pathway from textual to expressive, although the unidirectionality of this cline is uncertain, and that the change from identification to recognition supports a recent proposal to distinguish immediate and extended intersubjectivity.

荷兰语前名词 zo'n 'so a' 的历时语料库研究

与其英语对应物一样，荷兰语 zo'n 具有识别和强化用途。发现从前者到后者的既定路径在这里构成了一个成比例的而不是离散的转变。与较旧的荷兰语 zulk 相比，从一开始就强烈存在强化使用，被认为是由于先前存在的形式相似并传达强化的结构。还发现 Zo'n 具有识别性和近似性用途。理由是前者是从识别用途演变而来的，而后者是一种在功能上独立于其他用途但在形式上以它们为模型的发展。最后，有人认为从识别到强化的语义转变最好通过从文本到表达的众所周知的途径来捕捉，
