Address Choice in Dutch 2
This paper reports on research into the use of Dutch forms of address (i.e. the second-person pronouns u and je/jij) among two generations in the Netherlands. Its main aim is to determine the factors behind different choices of address pronoun. It takes the model of address choice proposed by Clyne et al. in Language and Human Relations (Cambridge University Press, 2009), and more specifically their concept of general pragmatic principles, as its…
Address Choice in Dutch 1
This article reports on research into the use of Dutch forms of address (i.e. the second-person pronouns u and je/jij) among students in the Netherlands and their parents. It takes the address model proposed by Clyne et al. in Language and Human Relations (Cambridge University Press, 2009) as its theoretical inspiration, and homes in on domain as a factor for the choice of address form. The article is based on the quantitative analysis of a quest…
Guest Editors' Preface
It is not uncommon for the naive native speaker of English to confuse German and Dutch. One reason for this lies in the English names for the languages, but another reason is that Dutch and German sound similar to the anglophone ear. Many, perhaps even most, university students of Dutch in the United Kingdom and elsewhere in the anglophone world come to Dutch with a good knowledge of German and again, often draw parallels between their mother ton…
Advanced Learners’ Use of Dutch Second Person Pronouns During Residence Abroad
The complex sociolinguistic system for Dutch forms of address presents students of Dutch as a foreign language with particular difficulties in learning to use second person pronouns appropriately. This article discusses the role of a period of residence in the Low Countries in advancing these students’ proficiency in this respect. The research is based on interviews with final-year students of Dutch in the UK. The analysis is framed in terms of i…
Trading culture, teaching culture
In a beginners language course intercultural skills are often acquired implicitly. An earlier investigation into culture in beginners courses of Dutch as a foreign language (Van Rossum and Vismans 2004) demonstrated that teaching materials for beginners contain a wealth of cultural information. However, it also pointed to the absence of a systematic approach in providing students with a critical perspective on foreign (and home) culture, and in t…
U and Non-U
The use of the Dutch second-person pronouns, jij/je and u (and plural jullie), poses a number of problems for learners whose mother tongue is English. This article reviews some of the research into the present-day use of these pronouns and presents the results of a survey among a number of students of Dutch at British universities. It demonstrates how students' grasp of the system improves over the years, but also where there are particular diffi…

Accentuation and the Order of Constituents in Dutch
The paper, which represents linguistic work in progress, is concerned with word order in Dutch declarative sentences used as the main clause. It reports on an experimental study designed to explore the extent to which the acceptability of a declarative clause in a given context is dependent on its accentuation pattern and the position of the accented constituent(s) in the clause. The paper consists of three parts: (1) background and methodology, …
