Abstract:

The Low Countries are famous for their radically changing landscape over the
last 1,000 years. Like the landscape, the linguistic situation has also
undergone major changes. In Holland, an early form of Frisian was spoken
until, very roughly, 1100, and in parts of North Holland it disappeared even
later. The hunt for traces of Frisian or Ingvaeonic in the dialects of the
western Low Countries has been going on for around 150 years, but a synthesis
of the available evidence has never appeared. The main aim of this book is to
fill that gap. It follows the lead of many recent studies on the nature and
effects of language contact situations in the past. The topic is approached
from two different angles: Dutch dialectology, in all its geographic and
diachronic variation, and comparative Germanic linguistics. In the end, the
minute details and the bigger picture merge into one possible account of the
early and high medieval processes that determined the make-up of western
Dutch.
