Abstract:

The decades around 1800 constitute the seminal period of European nationalism.
The linguistic corollary of this was the rise of standard language ideology,
from Finland to Spain, and from Iceland to the Habsburg Empire. Amidst these
international events, the case of Dutch in the Netherlands offers a unique
example. After the rise of the ideology from the 1750s onwards, the new
discourse of one language–one nation was swiftly transformed into concrete
top-down policies aimed at the dissemination of the newly devised standard
language across the entire population of the newly established Dutch
nation-state. Thus, the Dutch case offers an exciting perspective on the
concomitant rise of cultural nationalism, national language planning and
standard language ideology. 

This study offers a comprehensive yet detailed analysis of these phenomena by
focusing on the ideology underpinning the new language policy, the
institutionalisation of this ideology in metalinguistic discourse, the
implementation of the policy in education, and the effects of the policy on
actual language use.
