Clearing the transcription hurdle in dialect corpus building : the corpus of Southern Dutch dialects as case-study Universiteit Gent
This paper discusses how the transcription hurdle in dialect corpus building can be cleared. While corpus analysis has strongly gained in popularity in linguistic research, dialect corpora are still relatively scarce. This scarcity can be attributed to several factors, one of which is the challenging nature of transcribing dialects, given a lack of both orthographic norms for many dialects and speech technological tools trained on dialect data. ...
Challenges in tagging and parsing spoken dialects of Dutch Universiteit Gent
This paper reports on the construction of a tagged and parsed pilot corpus of the southern Dutch dialects. The corpus aims to facilitate diachronic research into the syntax of Dutch, as its dialects have retained many interesting (morpho)syntactic features which can often be traced back to changes starting in or characteristics retained from older stages of historical Dutch. The discussion mainly focuses on initial test results achieved by ...
The Dictionary of the Southern Dutch Dialects (DSDD) : designing a virtual research environment for digital lexicological research Universiteit Gent
The southern Dutch dialect area consists of four dialect groups: (1) the Flemish dialects, spoken in French Flanders (France), West and East Flanders (Belgium) and Zeeland Flanders (the Netherlands); (2) the Brabantic dialects, spoken in Antwerp and Flemish Brabant (Belgium) and Northern Brabant (the Netherlands); (3) the Limburgian dialects (spoken in the Limburg provinces of Belgium and the Netherlands); (4) the Zeeland dialects, spoken in ...
Pilot project: a dictionary of the Dutch dialects Universiteit Gent
Local dialects, supralocal writing systems. The degree of orality of Dutch private letters from the seventeenth century Vrije Universiteit Brussel
In historical sociolinguistics, it is often assumed that ego-documents such as private letters represent the spoken language of the past as closely as possible. In this paper, we will try to determine the degree of orality of seventeenth-century Dutch private letters: the degree to which the spoken local dialect is represented in these texts, and at the same time, the extent to which scribes possibly converged towards supralocal writing systems. ...
Interdisciplinary synergies : opening up new perspectives for data-driven research of the Southern Dutch Dialects Universiteit Gent
The Database of the Southern Dutch Dialects (DSDD) aims to aggregate and standardise three existing comprehensive lexicographic dialect databases of the Flemish, Brabantic and Limburgian dialects into one integrated dataset (Van Keymeulen, et al., 2019; Van Hout, et al., 2018, De Vriend, et al., 2006). In 2016, the Research Foundation Flanders funded a medium-scale research infrastructure project, the Database of Southern Dutch Dialects ...
The syntax of ellipsis: evidence from Dutch dialects KU Leuven
The Syntax of Ellipsis investigates a number of elliptical constructions found in Dutch dialects within the framework of the Minimalist Program. Using two case studies, Van Craenenbroeck argues that both the PF-deletion and the pro-theory of ellipsis are needed to account for the full range of elliptical phenomena attested in natural language. The first case study focuses on instances of stranding to the right of a sluiced wh-phrase: ...
