  • The Dutch-French Language Border in Belgium
    The Dutch-French Language Border in Belgium Roland Willemyns Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Germaanse Talen, Pleinlaan 2, B-1050 Brussels, Belgium Thisarticle is restricted to adescriptionof languageborder fluctuations in Belgium as faras itsDutch-French portion isconcerned.After a briefdescription of theso-called ‘languagequestion’ in Belgium thenotion of languageborder is discussedin general. Then comesan overviewof thestatus and function of thelanguage border in Belgium and of theactual language border fluctuations as they haveoccurred up to thepresent day. Two problem areas:the ‘ Voerstreek’and theBrussels suburban region are discussedin moredetail. Afterwards language shift and changethrough erosionin Brusselsare analysed as wellas thepart played in thatprocess by linguisticlegislation, languageplanning and sociolinguisticdevelopments. Finally a typology of language borderchange is drawn up and thepatterns of changeare identified in orderto explain and accountforthea lmostunique natureoftheBelgianportion of the Romance-Germanic language border. 1. Introduction Belgium (approximately10 million inhabitants) is a trilingualand federal country,consisting of four different entitiesconstituted on the basisof language: the Dutch-speaking community(called Flanders;58% of the population),the French speaking one (called Wallonia;32%), the smallGerman speaking commu- nity (0.6%)and the Dutch-French bilingual communityof Brussels(9.5%). Since regionalgovernments have legislative power, the frontiersof their jurisdiction, being language borders, are defined in the constitution (Willemyns, 1988). The Belgian portionof the Romance-Germaniclanguage borderis quite remarkablefor mainly two main reasons: (1) itsstatus and function have changed considerablysince the countrycame into existence; (2) itspresent status andfunction arealmost unique ascompared to all the otherportions under consideration.Because of thatit has frequently caughtthe attention(and imagi- nation)of scientistsof variousdisciplines (although,for a long time,mainly of historians;Lamarcq & Rogge,1996).

Twenty-two species, collected from 13 localities, are new to the Balkan Mountains and seven of them (Dolichopus longicornis, Hercostomus chetifer, Medetera pallipes, M. muralis, Neurigona quadrifasciata, N. pallida and Sciapus costea) are new to the fauna of Bulgaria. Medetera pallipes and Sciapus costea are also new to the Balkan Peninsula. Thus, the total number of known species of the family Dolichopodidae for Bulgaria increases to 204.

Nat. Croat., Vol. 24, No. 2, 323–330, 2015, Zagreb Dvije vrste dugonogih muha Rhaphium( caliginosum Meigen i Medetera jacula (Fallén)) zabilježene su po prvi puta za Hrvatsku. S tim nalazima ukupni broj vrsta dugonogih muha za Hrvatsku iznosi 38 te rad donosi popis tih vrsta.

The dolichopodid fauna of Croatia is poorly investigated and majority of records are from the second half of the 19th and in the first half of the 20th century.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Two new species of the long-legged fly genus Hurleyella Runyon & Robinson, 2010 are described and illustrated: Hur- leyella belizensis sp. nov. from Belize and Hurleyella salina sp. nov. from alkali areas of the Northern Rockies of the USA (Idaho, Montana, Wyoming). The discovery of these new species greatly extends the known distribution of Hurleyella northward in the Nearctic and southward into the Neotropics. Notes, photos of habitats, a distribution map, and a key to the four known species of Hurleyella are provided. Key words: Rocky Mountains, Belize, long-legged flies, Dolichopodidae, Medeterinae, micro-dolichopodids, Hurleyel- la, Microchrysotus, Micromedetera, Neotropics, Nearctic Introduction Hurleyella Runyon & Robinson, 2010 was established for two Nearctic species, H. brooksi Runyon & Robinson from Texas and H. cumberlandensis Runyon & Robinson from Virginia. The genus contains miniscule gray to brown flies that have a body length of around 1 mm (Figs 1, 2) and adults occur in sunny, relatively dry habitats. Hurleyella belongs to the so-called ‘micro-dolichopodids’, a collection of minute-sized, probably unrelated genera that make up a speciose component of the dolichopodid fauna in the New World (Robinson 1969, 1975; Bickel 2009; Borkent et al.
