程度词是词汇中一个有趣的部分：数量众多，形式多样，不断变化。它们在分布上也表现出很大的多样性。本文从语义的角度考察了程度副词的特点。本书的重点是荷兰语，但以前对英语和德语程度副词的研究是用来比较和建立的。本书首先介绍了分级和分级性，并根据程度副词的分类。其次，讨论了副词产生的不同词汇来源和语法化的过程。本书的主要部分致力于程度副词使用的语义限制，一方面是关于修饰成分的限制，另一方面是关于环境的限制。主题包括绝对性与等级性、肯定评价与否定评价、否定的强化、极性敏感性、副词本身的逻辑性质以及对重叠和堆叠的限制。除正文外，本文还列举了三个个案，对其中一些副词的特殊性进行了深入的研究，以更详细地展示其分布的复杂性。附录概述了荷兰语的程度副词。
Adverbs of degree form an intriguing part of the lexicon: numerous, multiform and everchanging. They also show a great variety in distribution. In this study, the characteristics of adverbs of degree are investigated from a semantic point of view. The main focus is on Dutch, but previous studies about English and German adverbs of degree are used to compare with and to build on. The book starts with an introduction on grading and gradability, and a classification of the adverbs according to the degree they express. Next, the different lexical sources from which the adverbs emerge and the process of grammaticalization are discussed. The main part of the book is devoted to semantic restrictions on the use of adverbs of degree, on the one hand restrictions concerning the modified elements, on the other hand those concerning the environment. Topics include absoluteness versus gradability, positive versus negative evaluation, the strengthening of negation, polarity sensitivity, the logical properties of the adverbs themselves, and restrictions to reduplication and stacking. Besides the main text, three case studies are presented in which the pecularities of some of the adverbs are investigated in depth, to show more in detail to complexities of their distribution. The appendix gives an overview of Dutch adverbs of degree.
