Meeting Description: 

In his 1956 book, the renowned Dutch linguist C.B. van Haeringen showed that
Dutch not only holds the middle ground between German and English with respect
to the area where it is spoken, but is also 'in between' these languages in a
highly systematic way when it comes to its linguistic structure. Whereas Van
Haeringen's explanation for this 'Germanic Sandwich' pattern focused on the
historical drift in Dutch towards more analytical structures, later
comparative investigations have not only included many more linguistic
phenomena in the analysis, but also highlighted structural and typological
aspects, and explored psycholinguistic and sociolinguistic explanations.

Since 2005, in which the appearance of van Haeringen's book was commemorated
in Berlin, a conference series is devoted to the comparative study of Dutch,
German and English. Subsequent editions of the “Germanic Sandwich” conference
were held in Sheffield (2008), Oldenburg (2010), Leuven (2013), and Nottingham
(2015). The next edition will be organized on 17-18 March, 2017 at the
University of Münster (Germany).

Prof. Damaris Nübling (Mainz) has agreed to deliver a keynote address.
