In The Genitive Case in Dutch and German: A Study of
Morphosyntactic Change in Codified Languages, Alan K. Scott offers
an account of the tension that exists between morphosyntactic
change and codification, focusing on the effect that codification
has had on the genitive case and alternative constructions in both
languages. On the basis of usage data from a wide variety of
registers, from the 16th century to the present day, Alan K. Scott
demonstrates that codification has preserved obsolescent
morphological genitive constructions in Dutch and German while
suppressing their potential replacements, and shows that, despite
its association with norm-conformant language, the genitive is used
to a surprisingly large extent in informal early modern Dutch and
modern German sources.
