Summary
The syntactic views of two Dutch structural linguists, A. W. de Groot (1892–1963) and P. C. Paardekooper (b.1920) are considered in their historical context. It appears to be possible to connect de Groot’s work with that of the Prague School; the notion of opposition, as developed in the Prague School with respect to phonological phenomena, is applied by de Groot to syntax. Paardekooper’s oeuvre, by contrast, appears to be connected with that of the American structuralists rather than that of their European colleagues, although his bibliographical references suggest otherwise. The notion of ‘distribution’ for instance is fundamental in his work.
Résumé
Le travail syntaxique de deux structuralistes néerlandais, A. W. de Groot (1892–1963) et P. C. Paardekooper (née en 1920) est considéré dans leur contexte historique. Il paraît que le travail de De Groot peut être associé avec les doctrines de l’Ecole de Prague. Il applique, dans le domaine de la syntaxe, la notion d’opposition, développée dans l’Ecole de Prague pour les phénomènes phonologiques. Le travail de Paardekooper par contre doit être associé plutôt avec la théorie des structuralistes américains qu’à celui des européens, bien que ses références bibliographiques fassent penser autrement: la notion de ‘distribution’ par exemple est un point d’appui dans ses ouvrages.
