Abstract
During the first years of my carreer in linguistics, the yearly
GLOW-Colloquium was an important event and Dutch linguistics participated in
this conference quite substantially. It symbolized the prominent position of
theoretical, generative linguistics in the Netherlands in the last decades of
the 20th century. The rise of theoretical linguistics cooccurred with my own
carreer as a syntactician. In this contribution I compare my experiences of the
early days of GLOW with the present state of theoretical linguistics in the
Netherlands.
