Linguistics in the Netherlands is a collection of internationally peer-reviewed articles representing current research in the Netherlands, in various fields of linguistics. This year's volume is based on the 47th annual conference of the Linguistic Society of the Netherlands (Utrecht, 7 February, 2016), at which 98 papers were presented. Of the 22 papers that were submitted in writing roughly 50% was accepted for publication. Linguistics in the Netherlands especially welcomes ongoing research and researchers in an early stage of their career.

On the basis of a world-wide convenience sample of 116 languages, the distribution of zero-marking of spatial relations over the languages of the world is shown to largely escape any genetically, areally and/or typologically based constraints. The main goal of this book is to firmly establish the cross-linguistic occurrence of the zero-marking of spatial relations and to provide a framework for its study in terms of economy and predictability.
