Op grond daarvan moet men dan ook verwachten dat de analyse zichzelf bevestigt in alle zinstypen waarin het pro-verbum doen optreedt. Het is echter in minstens één geval zo dat zinnen met het pro-verbum doen in strijd zijn met Ross' analyse, en tot een wijziging er van dwingen.

1975, Mathijs Maria Willebrord Pollmann, Oorzaak en handelende persoon: de beschrijving van passieve zinnen in de Nederlandse grammatica [Cause and actor: an analysis of passive sentences in Dutch grammar] (Dissertation), Nijmegen, →OCLC, page 72:

In the domain of conversational analysis, the interactional course of this reasoning is documented for a number of types of conversations.

Iedereen met veel kennis van de gangbare psychologiemethoden krijgt een echte 'cultuurschok' te verwerken als hij een onderzoeksrapport over conversatieanalyse leest.

1998, Gijs Mulder, Indirecte en directe directieven: een analytisch en empirisch onderzoek naar taalhandelingen in het Spaans, page 174:

An alternative approach to sentence types can be found in for instance the relevance theory.

Sperber en Wilson (1986) pogen met hun relevantietheorie Grice's maxime van relevantie, die hijzelf ongedefinieerd laat, te ontwikkelen.

1998, Marja Roelofs, "Hoe bedoel je?": de verwerving van pragmatische vaardigheden, page 56:

Sperber and Wilson (1986) try with their relevance theory to develop Grice's maxim of relation, which he himself leaves undefined.

Onder de pragmatische vertaalveranderingen moeten we ook de relevantietheorie van Gutt (1991) vermelden.

compound

Wat wil dat zeggen dat je niet uitgaat van het coöperatieprincipe maar van het associatieprincipe?

What does it mean to base oneself not on the cooperative principle but rather on the associative principle?

Op basis van dergelijke analyses probeert Clyne (1994) de universele geldigheid van het coöperatieprincipe te redden door een voorstel te doen voor de herformulering van de maximes.

2009, Jan D. ten Thije, “Interculturele communicatie: naar een afbakening van het onderzoeksveld [Intercultural communication: towards a demarcation of the scientific field]”, in Artikelen van de Zesde Anéla conferentie [Articles of the Sixth Anéla conference], page 522:

On the basis of similar analyses Clyne (1994) attempts to save the universal validity of the cooperative principle by proposing the reformulation of the maximes.

Het coöperatieprincipe is een soort stilzwijgende overeenkomst tussen gesprekspartners om bij het communiceren samen te werken.

2012, Anne E. Bakker, Jan Don, Kees Hengeveld, Taal en Taalwetenschap [Language and Linguistics], page 64:

1998, Marja Roelofs, Hoe bedoel je? [What do you mean?], page 7:

Implicit meaning, or implicature, is the unsaid meaning of an linguistic utterance.

Een zin als Komt hij morgen ook weer mee? wordt pas in de mogelijke implicatuur (Dan blijf ik thuis!) informatief en (dus) bepalend voor het handelen.

2005, Over de oorsprong van de taal, of hoe wij sprekend mens geworden zijn [On the origin of language, or how we became human by speaking], page 84:

A sentence like Will he come along again tomorrow? becomes informative, and (as such) deciding for one's action, only in the possible implicature.

Wanneer sprekers maximes flouten, doen ze dit dus opzettelijk om zo een implicatuur te genereren.

2021, Esther Ruigedijk, Marijke de Belder, Ankelien Schippers, Inleiding Nederlandse taalkunde:

When speakers flout maximes, they do so delibarately so as to generate an implicature.

kreits

From Rhine Franconian kreytz, compare German Kreis.

Arnade begint zijn boek bij de Bourgondiërs, met hun ideaal van een door eigen hertogen geleide bestuurlijke eenheid die van Autun tot ongeveer Dokkum zou reiken. Dat ideaal lieten ze niet verdampen toen ze bij de Habsburgers ingetrouwd raakten (of de Habsburgers bij hen): keizer Karel V had rond 1550 iets op papier dat de facto misschien niet veel voorstelde, maar wel een ‘Bourgondische Kreits’ mocht heten – een ‘administratie’ waartegen met name Friezen en Geldersen zich altijd zijn blijven verzetten.

2009 January 9, Jan Blokker, “De Opstand is het sjabloon van alle revoluties [The Dutch Revolt is the template for all revolutions]”, in NRC Handelsblad, retrieved 2023-10-10:

Arnade begins his book with the Burgundians, with their ideal of an administrative unit led by their own dukes that would stretch from Autun to roughly Dokkum. They didn't let that ideal evaporate when they became in-laws to the Habsburgs (or the Habsburgs to them): around 1550, Emperor Charles V had drawn up something on paper that may not have amounted to much de facto, but was allowed to be called a 'Burgundian Circle' - an 'administration' that Frisians and Gelderlanders, in particular, always continued to oppose.
