genoemdgenoemde

Genoemdgenoemde is a Dutch neologism that refers to a hypothetical double form combining the participle gezand "genoemd" (named) and the adjective "genoemde" (the aforementioned). In discussions of Dutch syntax and style, it is described as an emphatic or playful way to indicate a subject that has already been introduced in the text. The term itself is not standard usage and is mainly encountered in linguistic examples, stylistic commentary, or as a humorous remark about legal or bureaucratic drafting.

Etymology and form: The word is built from two related forms of the verb noemen (to name): the past participle "genoemd" and the adjective "genoemde." The idea is to stack or reinforce the cross-reference to a previously mentioned entity. Because it is not a conventional construction, it appears predominantly in descriptive or analytical contexts rather than in everyday writing.

Usage and considerations: In practice, Dutch writers typically rely on "genoemde" or synonyms such as "bovenvermeld" to refer to something already introduced. The use of "genoemdgenoemde" is considered highly marked and is rarely found outside deliberate stylistic effects or theoretical discussions. When it appears, it should be clearly motivated by a desire to emphasize or parody the act of referencing earlier in the text.

Examples: A sentence illustrating this hypothetical form might be framed to stress the cross-reference, but such usage is unusual. For standard writing, replacing with "genoemde" or "bovenvermeld" is advisable for clarity and norms.
