You may know the words "boss," "cookie," "yacht," and "brandy." These words have one thing in common. They all originate from Dutch words- "baas," "koekje," "jacht," "brandewijn."

Het onderzoeksproject waarop de NGF gebaseerd is, maakte aanvankelijk deel uit van het Project Nederlandse Spraakkunst (PNS), dat een initiatief was van de Nederlandse Taalunie. De Nederlandse Taalunie heeft in 1996 het plan opgevat om van de Algemene Nederlandse Spraakkunst (ANS 1997) een aantal afgeleide producten te ontwikkelen voor specifieke doelgroepen, enerzijds een elektronische ANS, en anderzijds een aantal contrastieve grammatica's.
