Abstract:

The dialects of Dutch do not only differ from Standard Dutch in their words
and sounds, but also in the way they build their words (morphology) and
sentences (syntax). The Morphological Atlas of the Dutch Dialects (MAND)
and the Syntactic Atlas of the Dutch Dialects (SAND) provide a description
of the surprisingly rich morphological and syntactic variation in the Dutch
language area (i.e. The Netherlands, Dutch speaking Belgium and north west
France) and present this variation on maps. The first volume of these
atlases appeared in 2005. The second and final volume appears today. This
is the completion of a unique project of the Meertens Institute (Amsterdam)
and the University of Ghent that started in 1979.

Together with the Phonological Atlas of the Dutch Dialects (FAND; three
volumes) that has already appeared, MAND and SAND constitute a triptych
without precedent. There is no other language area in the world for which
such a systematic, extensive and detailed description of grammatical
variation and its geographic distribution exists. This description is very
important for research into the structure of natural language and for
research into the history of the Dutch language area and Dutch. 

MAND I presents the variation in plural formation, diminutives and
grammatical gender. MAND 2 provides the variation in comparative and
superlative formation, possessive, subject and object pronouns and verbal
inflection.

SAND 1 gives the variation in complementizers and complementizer
inflection, inflection on yes/ no, subject clitics, reflexives,
Wh-sentences and relative clauses. SAND 2 presents the variation in the
order of verbs and correlated variation in their form, and negative sentences.

This Year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $60,000. This money will go to help 
keep the List running by supporting all of our Student Editors for the coming year.

See below for donation instructions, and don't forget to check out our Fund Drive 
2009 LINGUIST List Restaurant and join us for a delightful treat!

http://linguistlist.org/fund-drive/2009/

There are many ways to donate to LINGUIST!

You can donate right now using our secure credit card form at  
https://linguistlist.org/donation/donate/donate1.cfm

Alternatively you can also pledge right now and pay later. To do so, go to:
https://linguistlist.org/donation/pledge/pledge1.cfm

For all information on donating and pledging, including information on how to 
donate by check, money order, or wire transfer, please visit:
http://linguistlist.org/donate.html

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as such 
can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 501(c) Non 
Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations can be 
offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers 
only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any 
gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting 
your human resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills 
in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative procedure 
that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. 
Please take a moment to check if your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
