‘Becoming With’ on the Dairy Farm
Literature has described dairy cows as both passive objects and active participants in the milk production process. This study explores how this passivity and activity co‐exist through an inquiry into dairy cow agency within a post‐anthropocentric conceptualisation of socialisation theories. Thereto, the dairy farm is framed as an anthroparchal total institution (ATI). Observations and video‐making on a Belgian dairy farm generated 180 video‐reco…

Age, interactions with peers, and proficiency in the standard variety predict children’s dialect proficiency
Aims and objectives: This study explores the variations in dialect proficiency among bidialectal children in the Dutch province of Limburg, situated in the southeast of the Netherlands. The primary objective is to uncover the sources of individual differences in dialect proficiency within a dialect-standard continuum. Methodology: The study employs a cross-sectional design to assess dialect proficiency through a picture naming task conducted in t…
The Construction of Researcher Positionality Through Language Practices in Multilingual Contexts
Ethnographers immerse themselves in the lifeworlds of their participants—including their language practices—through participant observation. In this process, researchers’ linguistic repertoires, along with the language choices and practices they enable, play a central role in co‐constructing positionality within emergent interactions. These interactions both shape and are shaped by locally situated meaning‐making, reflecting the dynamics of the r…
Negotiating new cultured identities through stylizing Wenyan
This article focuses on cultured identity construction via linguistic stylization among young domestic and external Chinese migrants. Based on ethnographic fieldwork in Beijing, China and the Netherlands, this study contends that self-defined Hanfu fans stylize the classical Wenyan register to invoke and align with a persona who is a member of the socioculturally recognizable Chinese literati. During this process, the use of the Wenyan register e…
Dialect acquisition by ‘new speakers’ of Dutch and their linguistic othering
The aim of this paper is twofold. The first section summarises what little is known about the acquisition of dialects and dialect features by locally born speakers whose parent(s) have a migration background, thus second-generation migrants in the Netherlands. The second part focusses on the province of Dutch Limburg, which is known for its widespread and active use of dialect, also in the public domain. The paper explores how new speakers acquir…
Embodied variation in the sequential greetings of the (dairy) cow
Changing bodily practices in interspecies communities with dairy cows and white lions
Research with cows, white lions, and other forms of interspecies fieldwork presents deep methodological challenges. Traditional, human-centered ethnography falls short in capturing how non-human interlocutors shape the conditions, possibilities, and dynamics of research. Drawing on two contrasting case studies – a dairy calf in the Netherlands and white lions in South Africa – we show that interspecies ethnography requires unlearning human-center…
The semiotic repertoire of dairy cows
This article moves from the familiar-the human-to the very different in sociolinguistics-the dairy cow. Based on multispecies ethnography, the aim of this article is to advocate the animal turn in sociolinguistics (Cornips 2019). The guiding question is how do non-human animals, that is, dairy cows-mutually and with humans-imbue their intraspecies and interspecies interaction with meaning that makes sense for the two species. The concept of semio…
Variation in the use of the partitive pronoun ER in regional (Heerlen) standard Dutch
This paper focuses on the variable use of partitive er in two types of constructions. First, er combined with cardinal numbers like drie ‘three’ and quantifiers like genoeg ‘enough’. Second, er combined with an elliptical noun referring to age and weight. Er should be present in the first case ( Ik heb *(er) drie ‘I have three’) but absent in the second case ( Hij is (*er) tachtig ‘He is eighty’), according to normative Dutch grammars. The sponta…
Multimodal dairy cow-human interaction in an intensive farming context
In our consideration of how to decentre an anthropocentric view in linguistics, we will address the following research question: how do dairy cows and humans imbue their interspecies interaction as a semiotic resource with meaning that makes sense for both species under specific social conditions (Jørgensen, 2008:167). We address the question by using a social-interactional approach informed by conversation analysis (CA) (Goodwin, 2017, Mondada, …

Minoritising a regional language in multilingual preschools in Dutch Limburg
Aims and objectives: We discuss how children with various language backgrounds interact in preschool playgrounds in Limburg, the Netherlands. This paper addresses the question how power dynamics between Dutch and/or Limburgish, and other languages are enacted in, by, and through language choice in preschool settings, and to what extent this leads to social (in)equality. Approach: This paper incorporates data collected during ethnographic fieldwor…

Renewing the coal mining past
This article examines how inhabitants of Heerlen, a town in the province of Limburg in the southeast of the Netherlands, renew the cultural memory of coal mining in the area through parodic linguistic and cultural practices linked to the (re)articulation of collective local and social identities. Heerlen became a center for the coal mining industry in the Netherlands in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The closure of the mines b…
Dialect speaking working-class women in the media
In this paper, we investigate the research question ‘How are female dialect users from former industrial areas depicted in the media?’ by comparing media representations from two former industrial areas, namely Heerlen/Parkstad in the Netherlands and Østfold in Norway. Both representations are parodic and can be characterised as ‘high performances’ (Johnstone 2011, p. 658), and we argue that these performances are informed by the class-divided, p…
The Acquisition of Grammatical Gender of Determiners in Danish Monolingual and Bilingual Children
This paper examines the acquisition of grammatical gender of indefinite and definite DPs in Danish. It investigates which grammatical contexts further acquisition and which slow it down, and whether distinguishing between monolinguals and bilinguals makes a difference. Danish has a two-way gender distinction (common and neuter), fusing gender with definiteness in the DP. In order to answer our research questions, we tested monolingual and bilingu…

Cross-language distance influences receptive vocabulary outcomes of bilingual children
Various studies have shown that bilingual children score lower than their monolingual peers on standardized receptive vocabulary tests. This study investigates if this effect is moderated by language distance. Dutch receptive vocabulary was tested with the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT). The impact of cross-language distance was examined by comparing bilingual groups with a small (Close; n = 165) and a large between-language distance (Dis…
Globalization on the Margins
Reflecting on almost three decades of postsocialist transformations, the second edition of Globalization on the Margins explores continuities and changes in Central Asian education development since the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, with a particular focus on the developments that took place since the production of the first edition in 2011. Rather than viewing these transformations in isolation, the authors place their analyses within…
The impact of preschool attendance on children's bidialectism in The Netherlands
This article addresses the question as to why toddlers in The Netherlands may stop speaking their regional language-Limburgish-as their home language after entering preschool, even when both parents speak Limburgish at home. The question is addressed through the concept of thetotal linguistic fact(Silverstein 1985): language ideology, language choice, and language practices mutually shape and inform each other. Language ideologies in wider societ…
The Use of Modal Particles in Netherlandic and Belgian Dutch Imperatives
This paper investigates the use of modal particles in spoken Dutch imperatives. Two types of particles are differentiated: mitigating, which are often used as a politeness strategy, and reinforcing, which add extra force to the utterance (Vismans 1994). Our findings show that in Netherlandic Dutch, the use of mitigating particles is determined by the type of occupation that the speaker has: Speakers in service-oriented occupations use mitigating …

Katanga Swahili and Heerlen Dutch
This article compares sociolinguistic and structural outcomes of language contact processes in two mining areas on two different continents, namely the Katanga region in the southeast of what is now the DR Congo, Africa and Heerlen as centre of the former Eastern Mine District in the southeastern province of Limburg in the Netherlands, Europe. Several similarities between these two regions make this comparison interesting. Both in Katanga and Hee…

Factors of success and failure in the acquisition of grammatical gender in Dutch
The goal of this article is to examine the factors that are proposed in the literature to explain the success—failure in the child L2 (second language) acquisition of grammatical gender in Dutch definite determiners. Focusing on four different groups of bilingual children, we discuss four external success factors put forward in the literature: (1) early age of onset, (2) lengthy and intensive input, (3) the quality of the input and (4) the role o…

Socio-syntax and variation in acquisition
This paper has two aims:* first, to emphasize how the linguistic input to which children are exposed is inherently variable and complex. To this end, we will discuss two particular phenomena in Dutch, namely Aux+Inf and gender marking in DP’s. These phenomena lend themselves to a comparison in terms of the nature of the individual, social and regional variation in the input. Second, regarding the question of whether bidialectal acquisition is the…
Undative constructions
In this article, we argue that the so-called semi-or krijgen-passive is transformationally derived, and hence that dative Case must be considered as a structural Case comparable to accusative Case.Further, we argue that the auxiliaries of the regular and semi-passive are responsible for the assignment of dative and accusative Case in the regular and semi-passive construction, respectively.Additional support for the claim that the (semi-)passive a…

The relationship between first language acquisition and dialect variation
It is remarkable that first language acquisition and historical dialectology should have remained strange bedfellows for so long considering the common assumption in historical linguistics that language change is due to the process of non-target transmission of linguistic features, forms and structures between generations, and thus between parents or adults and children. Both disciplines have remained isolated from each other due to, among other …

Ergative Reflexives in Heerlen Dutch and French
In this article it is shown that the Heerlen Dutch construction Her riet birigt zich ‘the reed bends refl crucially differs from its Standard Dutch counterpart’. Instead, it has properties very similar to the ones of the French construction La branche se casse ‘the branch refl breaks’. First, it is argued that both the Heerlen Dutch and the French constructions are ergative intransitive counterparts of transitive change of state verbs with a Caus…

Syntax and Variation
The papers in this collection share a common interest in the empirical, theoretical and meta-theoretical aspects of the ‘internal-external’ (‘formal-functional’) debate in linguistic theory. The primary aim of this volume is to initiate cooperation between internationally renowned generative and variationist linguists with a view to developing an innovative and more cohesive approach to syntactic variation. The present volume contains treatments …

Loosing grammatical gender in Dutch
In the Dutch sociolinguistic literature it is often noted that the overgeneralization of common gender, that is, the use of the definite article de where het is required, characterizes the Dutch variety(ies) of immigrants. Recent sociolinguistic research shows that this overgeneralization also occurs in the speech of subsequent generations born in the Netherlands who acquire Dutch as one of their first languages. The aim of this paper is to discu…

Knowing versus producing
Dutch nouns are divided into two groups according to grammatical gender which is, among others, marked on the definite determiner: common nouns take the definite determiner de and neuter nouns take the definite determiner het. This study is unique in systematically investigating the acquisition of grammatical gender and the definite determiner in the production and knowledge data of the same Dutch children. Three groups of children were examined:…
The verb krijgen ‘to get’ as an undative verb
This article will argue that the typology of verbs currently assumed in generative grammar has an incidental gap; we would expect that besides dyadic verbs with two internal arguments, in which the theme argument surfaces as subject, there are also dyadic verbs with two internal arguments, in which the goal argument surfaces as subject. We will show that such verbs do indeed exist and are instantiated by the verb krijgen 'to get' and its cognates…
The role of age of onset and input in early child bilingualism in Greek and Dutch
The focus of this study is the acquisition of grammatical gender in Greek and Dutch by bilingual children whose other language is English. Although grammatical gender languages share the property of noun classification in terms of grammatical gender, there are important differences between the languages under investigation here in terms of both the morphological cues for gender marking available to the child and the developmental path followed by…
Globalization in the margins
Work on globalization has been concentrated on typical sites where features and phenomena are abundantly available: the huge contemporary metropolis with its explosive and conspicuous diversity in people and languages, its hyper-mobility and constant flux.

Belonging through Languagecultural Practices in the Periphery
In this article, we will present two case studies of language and cultural practices that are part of or strongly related to carnival, in the Dutch peripheral province of Limburg, and more precisely in the southern Limburgian city of Heerlen, which in turn is considered peripheral vis-à-vis the provincial capital Maastricht. We will consider carnival as a political force field in which opposing language and cultural practices are involved in the …
