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.? 8
