Abstract:

"Nederlanders and buitenlanders: A sociolinguistic ethnographic study of
ethnic categorization among secondary school pupils" is a study based on nine
months of ethnographic fieldwork among pupils of the vocational track of a
secondary school in Venlo, the Netherlands. Many of these pupils had a
migration background, and though they were born in the Netherlands, they often
referred to themselves as buitenlander (‘foreigner’), Marokkaan (‘Moroccan’),
or Turk (‘Turk’), and referred to others without migration backgrounds as
Nederlanders (‘Dutch people).

In this dissertation, van de Weerd combines ethnographic descriptions of the
local context with ethnomethodological analyses of interactions to analyze
such self- and other-categorizations. Although the use of categories such as
Nederlander and buitenlander are commonly interpreted as straightforward
indications of (dis)identification with a country or ethnic identity, it is
argued that their meanings are constructed and negotiated in local
interactions and are therefore much more complex. The pupils in this study,
for instance, regularly discussed categories in association with certain
clothing styles, language, or behavior, or jokingly teased each other by
speaking negatively about these categories. The dissertation furthermore
analyzes the relation between categorization practices and the use of
different linguistic resources such as Dutch, Limburgish, Turkish, Arabic,
and/or Berber.

"Nederlanders and buitenlanders" may be of relevance to researchers interested
in categorization in interaction, ethnicity, identification, the effects of
diversification outside the metropolitan area, and more broadly, linguistic
ethnography and sociocultural linguistics.
