Compositional Distributional Semantics: Present Participle and Relative Clause Structures in Dutch

Abstract

In this essay a Compositional Distributional Semantic approach is researched for studying two separate phenomena in the Dutch language. Firstly a theoretical outline for the Compositional Distributional Semantics is drawn, starting with the beginning of Distributional Semantics and ending with the current research in the expanded Compositional Distributional Semantics. Then a case study focussing on the two phenomena is outlined, performed and discussed, all while taking into account the previously described theory. The case study results show that more research into the field is necessary.
