Abstract:

This book offers the first comprehensive analysis of the Dutch–French
contact situation in the Early and Late Modern period, when the Dutch
language and culture supposedly underwent frenchification in various
spheres of life. Bringing together empirical approaches based on a
wide range of datasets, this volume not only delves deeply into an
intriguing case study in historical multilingualism and language
contact but also offers detailed theoretical and methodological
background information on how to analyse such an enduring contact
situation from a historical-sociolinguistic perspective. The
Dutch–French case is approached from three interrelated angles,
focusing on the Netherlands between 1500 and 1900: contact-induced
change in historical Dutch, language choice and language shift in the
private and the public domain, and language-ideological change.
