De redaksje > Introduction The Conference on Frisian Philology is organized on average once every three years, ever since it was organized for the first time in 1956. The year 2014 saw the 20th edition of this conference, where scientists, students and lay- men meet, sharing their interest in all aspects of the Frisian Humanities. There were 58 lectures involving linguistics, sociolinguistics, sociology of language, history, education and literature, not to mention the presenta- tion of the book of Old Frisian studies by Prof. Rolf Bremmer, the presen- tation of the book on Frisian and Dutch Latin schools and the session involving the book on Prof. Feitsma. The lectures were given in English, German, Dutch or Frisian. A selection of articles has been published in the book that is before you, Philologia Frisica anno 2014, providing a broad overview of what is presently going on in the Humanities with respect to Frisian language and culture. The editors 7 ... Aldfrysk The Cover of Cloth, The Concealing Function of Clothing in Old Frisian Law Daan Keijser (Universiteit Leiden) In covering the body, clothing has many functions – some of which are in- formed by corporeal needs, others by social conventions. This article will focus on a particular social function of clothing: its concealing function, which is well attested among the Old Frisian laws. The concealing func- tion of clothing is a nearly ubiquitous one, Adam and Eve were already said to clothe themselves to conceal their private parts from whomever there was to behold them, and we still do. As with many notions com- mon to a host of human cultures, the principle itself might in general be similar, but every culture shrouds its customs in cultural significances very much their own. In what follows, I will treat the specific social and cultural significance given to the concealing function of clothing in Old Frisian law. The corpus of Old Frisian law has a remarkable wealth of regulations that concern clothing. Recently, Gisela Hofmann has written three lengthy publications on clothing in the corpus of Old Frisian law and fifteenth- century wills,1 commencing thorough study of clothing for the period before that treated by J.C. Stracke’s Tracht und Schmuck Altfrieslands, with its study of clothing and ornamentation in sixteenth-century East Frisian manuscripts.2 Hofmann’s work, however enlightening, has mostly ety- mology of the names of garments and the types of garments mentioned as its objects of study. The social and cultural significance attributed to clothing goes unmentioned. A valuable contribution to the study of the body that does go into social significance is Han Nijdam’s Lichaam, eer en recht, which provides a model of embodied honor that also treats various aspects of the naked and clothed body among the laws. 1 Gisela Hofmann, ‘Gold, Silber, Kleinodien, kostbare Gewänder und Gebrauchs- gegenstände aus Edelmetall im mittelalterlichen Friesland’, Us Wurk: tydskrift foar Frisistyk 58 (2009), 73-151; idem, ‘Zur Geschichte eines altertümliches friesischen Pelzgewandes’, Twenty-Nine Smiles for Alastair.

Stracke, Tracht und Schmuck Altfrieslands nach den Darstellungen im Hausbuch des Häuptlings Unico Manninga (Aurich 1967). 11 The social and cultural significance in regulations on clothing deserve a discussion of their own, especially the concealing function of cloth- ing, that plays a meaningful role in matters of compensation. The use of clothes to structurally or occasionally conceal parts of the body is mani- fested mainly in the tariff lists, which list the due compensation for of- fenses. Some features of the body were considered to be shameful, and were best covered by clothing in order to conceal them. This article will try to explain what was meant to be covered, and why this was the case. The regulations on the concealing function of clothing can be divided into two categories, which will be treated separately below. The two things to be hidden from sight behind the cover of clothing were dishonorable injuries and shameful body parts. The injuries, as we will see, pertain spe- cifically to the domain of men, while the shameful body parts are primar- ily associated with women. This gender distinction and others, discern- ible in the concealing function of clothing, merit a discussion, that will follow the first two sections of this article. > Wounds The first category to be concealed consists of wounds and injuries. The following paragraphs will treat how visible injuries had to be compen- sated more than those covered by clothing. I will argue that this was the case because clearly visible wounds were shameful, as they attested the shaming offenses that caused them. The function of clothing to cover up wounds is an old one, as the Leges Barbarorum already frequently testified to it. The laws of Burgundy, Ala- mannia, and Wessex contain regulations which demand a higher com- pensation if the wounds in question are not covered by either clothing or hair.3 The coupling of clothing and hair is used in the Old Frisian laws as well. The personal injury tariffs of the South-West Frisian coast area contain the following regulation: Halsslech thwisk wede and tha scerd viij panninghen and xiiij ensa, thet send xxiiij grata.4 (A blow to the neck between clothing and hair, 8 pennies and 14 ounces; that is 24 grata.) This regula- tion is the only mention of the pairing of clothing and hair west of the river Lauwers. The stipulation shows that without the cover of clothing or hair an injury remains painfully visible, unless one were to wear some sort of scarf. The laws east of the Lauwers show, however, that even that may not suffice: Metedolech en skilling.

  • Modernising Tbe Lexicon of Tbe West Frisian Language
    Modernising tbe Lexicon of tbe West Frisian Language Hindrik Sijens (LjouwertlLeeuwarden) A new toy in the world of modem electronic communications has arrived in Fryslän, namely Internet, and along with it e-mail. When asked what these new media might be ca lied in Frisian, the answers internet and e-mail are hardly surprising. We can see that both Fryslän and the Frisian language are also tak­ ing part in the digitalisation of the world. New concepts, new words in tech­ nology retain their original Anglo-American names in most European lan­ guages. This paper will deal with the process of developing and renewing the Frisian lexicon. But first I am going to give a brief introduction to Fryslän itself. Fryslän is one ofthe twelve provinces ofthe kingdom ofthe Netherlands and is situated in the northem part ofthe country. Fryslän is a flat province, much of its territory being below sea level. It is protected trom the sea by dikes. The capitalof Fryslän is Ljouwert, or Leeuwarden, as it is known in Dutch. In the past, Fryslän was an agricultural pro vin ce with more cattle living there than people. Nowadays farming still plays an important role in Fryslän's economy, but both the service industries and industry itself have also become important. Fryslän has a population of about 600,000 and approximately 55% of them consider Frisian to be their first language. While about 74% of the population claim that they can speak Frisian, 94% say that they can understand it when it is spoken, 65% claim that they can read Frisian, but only 17% say that they can write it (Gorter & Jonkman 1995:9-11).

  • [1495] O Sjorem Magaaije! Fiktyf Joadsk Etnolekt Yn 'E Fryske Literatuer
    US WURK LXIX (2020), p. 38 [1495] O sjorem magaaije! Fiktyf Joadsk etnolekt yn ‘e Fryske literatuer Bouke Slofstra Abstract. In the past, Westerlauwers Friesland was already inhabited by a multilingual population, including speakers of local Frisian and non- Frisian vernaculars, the Dutch standard language and etnolects of foreign origin like those of German harvesters and Jewish merchants. Frisian literature reflects this multilingual situation to some extent. The details of it have yet to be studied in a systematic way, however. This case-study exemplifies how Jews were characterized in Frisian literature, especially drama. It turns out that the stereotypical Jewish char- acter is presented as speaking a variety of artificial and real languages. This study sheds some light on the question of how literature relates to reality, prejudice and language. It is argued that Frisian literature and multilingualism interconnect, the former existing in a multilingual reality, the latter being creatively manipulated by literary fiction. 1 Ynlieding Meartaligens wie foar 1900, lykas no, in skaaimerk fan Fryslân en de Frie- zen sels. Dat feit wurdt wjerspegele yn de Fryske literatuer, en dat betsjut fansels folle mear as Fryske en Hollânske twataligens (Burger 1944, Meer- tens & Wander 1958, Vries & Breuker 1987, Jonkman & Versloot 2008). By Feike van der Ploeg komme bygelyks sprekkers fan it Hylpersk foar. Yn it wurk fan de Halbertsma‟s oppenearje stedsjers en „poepen‟ har yn har eigen taal, of alteast yn in karikatuer dêrfan. Waling Dykstra koe Biltsk en hat ek yn dy taal publisearre. Minder bekend is miskien it personaazje fan de Joadske keapman, dy‟t faak en folle yn „e Fryske skriuwerij opfierd waard, meast yn toanielstikken.

  • Frisian. Standardization in Progress of a Language in Decay
    Frisian* Standardization in progress of a language in decay Eric Hoekstra Fryske Akademy, The Netherlands 1. Historical background The ªrst standard of the Frisian language is re¶ected in documents from the so- called Old Frisian period (c. 1200 to 1550; cf. Bremmer 2001).1 These surviving manuscripts show a considerable degree of linguistic uniformity. When Old Frisian disappeared from the historical record around 1550, Frisian lost its early standard. During the subsequent Middle Frisian Period (roughly 1550–1800) there are few signs of standardization in the modest written production. The roots of the modern Frisian standard (from 1800 to the present day) lie in the linguistic romanticism of the nineteenth century. Frisian may thus be said to have had an incipient standard language (Old Frisian), to have lost it and to have acquired a new standard. In this paper I will ªrst brie¶y discuss the Old Frisian standard and then concentrate on the origin and development of the standard of present-day Frisian. Norm selection, codiªcation, acceptance and decay in Old Frisian Little is known about the process of norm selection in Old Frisian. However, some indirect evidence may be gleaned from the type of texts that were written in Old Frisian. Old Frisian literature comprises mainly legal texts; most of the remaining documents are historical chronicles which were written for political and/or ideo- logical purposes (Johnston 2001 provides a useful overview of Old Frisian law manuscripts; charters are discussed by Vries 2001a). Apart from legal texts, there are also religious texts, historical texts as well as texts dealing with administrative issues.
