This contribution sketches a very personal and subjective view on the past 50 years of linguistics in the Netherlands as well as on the next 50 years in linguistics in the Netherlands. With this we hope to be able to apply the language acquisition simulation techniques mentioned above to acquire properties of a language for which we have nothing but a (sufficiently large) parallel corpus containing a text in a different language for which a treebank does exist. Though it is almost a certainty that in most of the next 50 years linguistics will have to be carried out without the active involvement of Noam Chomsky, I am confident that the influence of his work on linguistics will continue unabatedly.
