Beste Laaglanders,
Ik wilde jullie graag even wijzen op een recentelijk verschenen
publicatie over
de dialecten en streektalen in Nederland, dat zeer de moeite waard is.
Het
heet 'De indeling van de Nederlandse streektalen' en is geschreven door
de
broers Cor en Geert Hoppenbrouwers.
Zij gebruiken geavanceerde computermethodes om de dialecten van 156
dorpen en
steden te classificeren. Zo krijgt men inzicht in de onderlinge
samenhang, de
verschillen tussen dialecten onderling, maar ook ontstaat een
mogelijkheid om
de talige afstand tussen die 156 dialecten en het standaard Nederlands
te meten.
De uitkomsten van hun onderzoek zijn te lezen op:
http://httpd.chello.nl/~w.vanwoerkom/krant/kaart_hoppenbrouwers.htm
Trouwens aardig om te zien dat deze dialectologen via computertechnieken
tot
ongeveer dezelfde indeling komen als gebruikelijk is in de Nederlandse
dialectologie.

Vriendelijke groeten,
Mathieu

Dear Lowlanders,
I would like to point out that a very interesting dialectical study
about the
Dutch dialects and regional languages has recently been published.
Unfortunately it is written in Dutch only, but the results of the study
are
also available in English at
http://httpd.chello.nl/~w.vanwoerkom/krant/kaart_hoppenbrouwers_eng.htm
Thanks to various computertechniques the differences between dialects
and
Standard Dutch have been calculated, making it possible to compare
linguistic
distances.

Kind regards,
Mathieu
