Is this with special emphasis, *I* (not someone else) will do that,
or does it happen all the time?

Does it happen when something else than a pronoun is the subject,
like (forgive me if I get it wrong, I was born in Haarlem and live in
Deventer) "De dokter zal etij da doen" for "The doctor will do that"?

Yes, please conjugate 'yes' and 'no' for us?
