Possible peaceful existence of national and minority languages
This study examines whether it is socially feasible for a country to accommodate minority languages alongside a national language without this leading to tensions, violence or separatist movements. The aim of this article therefore is to discuss and clarify the relationship between national languages and minority languages, so that there is sufficient social space and appreciation for minority languages without detracting from the importance of a…
Economic Value of Endangered Languages
In a world where more than half of the 6,500 languages are under the threat of extinction, this paper challenges the conventional view that language preservation lacks concrete economic benefits. Investigating the intricate relationships between monolingualism, cultural identity, and economic dynamics, it illuminates the diverse values that languages contribute to our global heritage. From communicative and emotional to ecological and scientific …
Samenstellingen in het Nederlands en Pools – een vergelijkende analyse en enige suggesties voor het taalonderricht
In deze bijdrage worden Poolse en Nederlandse nominale samenstellingen vergeleken en worden, met het oog op het leren van Nederlands door Poolstalige studenten, de overeenkomsten tussen beide verschijnselen globaal in kaart gebracht.

Voor het Nederlands wordt aan de hand van de literatuur eerst nagegaan wat het verschil is tussen een woordgroep en een…
Taalpatriottisme van Becanus tot Grotius
In this study the linguistic ideas of Goropius Becanus (1519-1573) and his followers Hendrik Laurensz Spieghel (1549-1612), Simon Stevin (1548-1620) and Hugo Grotius (1583-1645) are studied. Goropius Becanus has a poor reputation for his fantastic etymologies, which have been ridiculed by, for example, Leibniz. However, Becanus’ ideas about the position and value of his Dutch mother tongue have been influential for more than a century, as is demo…
Contra de linguïstische preutsheid
Against linguistic prudishness. About -gate and other libfixes This study aims to discuss libfixing as a non-morphemic process of word formation. Libfixes are ‘liberated’ elements that originate from the reanalysis of existing words, usually opaque forms or blends. A well-known example of a libfix is -gate from Watergate, whose borrowing and spreading in Dutch has been discussed by Hüning (2000). Among the other examples that are discussed are En…
