When intuitions diverge from usage
This paper draws on acceptability judgments and corpus data to investigate the alternation between infinitival (INF) and finite da -present complements (DPC) in Serbo-Croatian. We first provide experimental evidence that predictors suggested in the literature on the basis of limited empirical evidence do indeed shape complement choice: DPCs are more frequent with larger complements and root modality, while INFs are preferred with smaller compleme…
Between (anti-)grammar and identity
Incomplete mastery of dialect grammar engenders ‘hyperdialectisms’ which may be unconscious errors, but which may also be the result of indexical resourcefulness, viz. the profiling of a regional identity. Fifty younger and older speakers from the Brabantish city of Eindhoven (Netherlands) were first administered an acceptability judgment task containing correct forms and three types of hyperdialectisms featuring gender and number constraints. Fo…
Natiolectal Variation in Dutch Morphosyntax
In this article, we report a large-scale corpus study aimed at tackling the (controversial) question to what extent the European national varieties of Dutch, that is, Belgian and Netherlandic Dutch, exhibit morpho-syntactic differences. Instead of relying on a manual selection of cases of morphosyntactic variation, we first marshal large bilingual parallel corpora and machine translation software to identify semiautomatically, in an extensively d…
Standard language dynamics in postcolonial Suriname
Sprekend Nederland , a multi-purpose collection of Dutch speech
This contribution sketches the aims, participant recruitment and methodology of the Sprekend Nederland project, the amount and types of data, the research possibilities they offer and suggestions for similar future projects
Schaalvergroting in het syntactische alternantieonderzoek
In this paper, we revisit earlier analyses of the distribution of er ‘there’ in adjunct-initial sentences to demonstrate the merits of computational upscaling in syntactic variation research. Contrary to previous studies, in which major semantic and pragmatic predictors (viz. adjunct type, adjunct concreteness, and verb specificity) had to be coded manually, the present study operationalizes these predictors on the basis of distributional analysi…
Vissen naar variatie
Belgian Dutch (BD) and Netherlandic Dutch (ND) are known to exhibit phonetic and lexical differences, but national variation in the syntax of Dutch has often been claimed to be quasi non-existent. This view is rooted in the fact that both laypersons and researchers are oblivious to national divergences in the grammar of Dutch (unless they are categorical and/or heavily mediatized), but also in the undisputed belief that BD and ND are different su…
Verwacht het onverwachte
Expect the unexpected. About the different ways in which the Dutch and the Flemish use er In this paper I report experimental data I have ignored for almost ten years because I did not know what to do with them. I still don’t know exactly, but the 25th anniversary of this journal is a key occasion to share them, if only because they fittingly illustrate that the syntax of Netherlandic and Belgian Dutch are diverging. The new data demonstrate that…
Implicitness and experimental methods in language variation research
This special issue brings together research that reflects on the status and role of different types of language attitudes, and the methods required to study them. Many linguists distinguish between explicit and implicit attitudes towards language, but more often than not it remains unclear how these constructs are defined, and what their potential significance is for the study of language variation and change. The contributions to this issue addr…
How “deep” is Dynamism? Revisiting the evaluation of Moroccan-flavored Netherlandic Dutch
In this paper we report a new speaker evaluation experiment to follow up on an earlier study, which found that the Moroccan accent of Netherlandic Standard Dutch was generally downgraded. As in the previous study, both traditional Superiority evaluations and modern Dynamism considerations (pertaining to media cool) were extracted, albeit with greater methodological care: we included a three-level accent strength variable in the stimuli, and measu…
Re-evaluating the Prestige of Regional Accents in Netherlandic Standard Dutch
This article investigates three neglected determinants of native speakers' attitudes toward regional accent variation in Netherlandic Standard Dutch, namely, accent strength, speaker gender, and the evaluation dimension dynamism. Nineteen participants first rated 126 speech clips representing three regional accents (Randstad, Groningen, Limburg) in terms of the expected regional origin of the speakers and their accent strength. In a subsequent sp…
The Standard Language Situation in the Low Countries
This paper reviews the available evidence in support of a diaglossic account (Auer 2005, 2011) of the 20th century history of Belgian and Netherlandic Dutch, whereby the national varieties of Dutch are argued to be developing towards a stratificational configuration without discrete intermediate strata between the base dialects and the standard. However, we show that the processes leading to diaglossia differ significantly in the two varieties. W…
Evaluating Regional Accent Variation in Standard Dutch
This article investigates native speakers’ attitudes toward accent variation in Netherlandic Standard Dutch. Adopting the speaker evaluation paradigm, a demographically controlled sample of listener-judges rated spontaneous speech samples that are representative of four regions in the Netherlands, and from which potentially competing linguistic cues (e.g., pitch and intonation) had not been removed. Speech stimuli were rated on a set of scales in…
