A Germanic Sandwich is a series of workshops in which Dutch is
compared with its closest Germanic neighbours, English and German.
Consistent with its geographical intermediate location, Dutch has been
argued to occupy a linguistic position in between German and English.
The 10th Germanic Sandwich workshop – the jubilee edition – will take
place on Thursday 7 May and Friday 8 May 2026 at Freie Universität
Berlin. The workshop series was founded in 2005, also at Freie
Universität Berlin, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the
appearance of Nederlands tussen Duits en Engels (‘Dutch between German
and English)’, a study by the renowned Dutch linguist C.B. van
Haeringen. Subsequent editions were held in Sheffield (2008),
Oldenburg (2010), Leuven (2013), Nottingham (2015), Münster (2017),
Amsterdam (2019), Cologne (2022), and Lancaster (2024).
As in previous editions, A Germanic Sandwich 10 welcomes studies of
(dis)similarities between these three languages from a synchronic
and/or a diachronic perspective and covering domains such as
phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics and/or pragmatics. In
addition, it is open to contrastive work dealing with – among other
things – psycholinguistics and language acquisition and to comparisons
with other (West) Germanic languages like Afrikaans and Frisian.
We invite abstracts for talks of 20 minutes (+ 10 minutes discussion).
Anonymous abstracts of 500 words should be sent to
germanic-sandwich-2026 at germanistik.fu-berlin.de. The workshop
languages are English, Dutch, and German. The deadline for submission
is 1 December 2025.
