VRIJE UNIVERSITEIT Language Change on the Dutch Frisian Island of Ameland Linguistic and sociolinguistic findings ACADEMISCH PROEFSCHRIFT ter verkrijging van de graad Doctor aan de Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, op gezag van de rector magnificus, prof.dr. L.M. Bouter, in het openbaar te verdedigen ten overstaan van de promotiecommissie van de faculteit der Letteren op donderdag 8 april 2010 om 15.45 uur in het auditorium van de universiteit, De Boelelaan 1105 door Mathilde Maria Jansen geboren te Den Burg, Texel promotoren: prof.dr. F.L.M.P. Hinskens prof.dr. M. van Oostendorp prof.dr. R.W.N.M. van Hout Acknowledgements First of all, I wish to thanks my promotors, who supervised the progress of this dissertation: Marc van Oostendorp (Meertens Institute, Leiden University), Frans Hinskens (Meertens Institute, VU University Amsterdam) and Roeland van Hout (Radboud University Nijmegen). My greatest debt of gratitude is to Marc van Oostendorp, who helped me to draw up the research proposal and was involved in the project from the very start. Marc, you were my constant source of support. Whenever we met, your wonderful stories kept my interest in linguistics alive, and you were always able to inspire me when the research seemed to bog me down. We have also been able to cooperate well outside this particular project, and I hope we can continue this cooperation in the future. Frans Hinskens has also contributed greatly to the completion of this dissertation. Frans, from the moment you became involved you made your mark, and especially the methodological part has benefitted as a result, both in terms of thoughtfulness and in terms of structure. Roeland van Hout did not become involved until the end of the project. Nevertheless, he supervised an essential part, namely the statistics. Roeland: for me this part was often a nightmare, but your vast knowledge and quick thinking turned SPSS into an exciting challenge. I also very much enjoyed our meetings, including the time we took our laptops to the Burger King. This dissertation would not have been possible without the cooperation of 60 Ameland dialect speakers. Here I wish to thank everyone again who agreed to be interviewed: for your patience (because completing the questionnaire took quite a bit of time), your enthusiasm and your hospitality. The moments I felt most immerged in the Ameland community were during the evenings when preparations were made for the Sunneklaas celebrations. That I was allowed to be present was exciting (because they were held at secret locations) and unique (because they were actually forbidden territory for women). I especially wish to thank Anke Nagtegaal for her willingness to supply me with oral stories, all kinds of newspaper clippings and informants. Anke, I wish to thank you again for your endless hospitality: the many visits (and some longer stays) to you and Barend were a source of information and warmth to me. I also have vivid memories of the discussions between Anke, me and Anton Oud, author of the Ameland dictionary. Unfortunately, he died in 2006. A very important contribution to this research project was also made by Pieter Jan and Tineke Borsch, not only as a result of their immense knowledge of the Ameland dialect and history, but also because of their support for my research project. You often replied to my questions, sent by email, within the hour, and I will not forget the many, many hours you spent in selecting the informants. You also took a kind interest in my private life, which I appreciated enormously. And then I wish to thank all my colleagues at the Meertens Institute, as well as the PhD students and other researchers who I met during conferences and research visits (in Joensuu, Uppsala, Newcastle, Limerick, Aberdeen, and Moncton). I thank Leonie Cornips for her support in building up a network in sociolinguistics. Leonie, thank you for your company and support during conferences abroad but also at the Meertens Institute. I wish to thank Jeroen van de Weijer for correcting my English and for some useful suggestions. Piet van Reenen also helped me revising the manuscript. My paranimphs Vivien Waszink and Frank Landsbergen have always been very supportive in many ways. Finally, I wish to thank my dear parents. Gelein for the linguistic genes and Ria for the philosophical genes. And – best comes last – my greatest source of happiness: my darling Sven and of course Silje – who arrived before the dissertation –, with whom I hope to share my love for the Wadden.

  • Putting Frisian Names on the Map
    GEGN.2/2021/68/CRP.68 15 March 2021 English United Nations Group of Experts on Geographical Names Second session New York, 3 – 7 May 2021 Item 12 of the provisional agenda * Geographical names as culture, heritage and identity, including indigenous, minority and regional languages and multilingual issues Putting Frisian names on the map Submitted by the Netherlands** * GEGN.2/2021/1 ** Prepared by Jasper Hogerwerf, Kadaster GEGN.2/2021/68/CRP.68 Introduction Dutch is the national language of the Netherlands. It has official status throughout the Kingdom of the Netherlands. In addition, there are several other recognized languages. Papiamentu (or Papiamento) and English are formally used in the Caribbean parts of the Kingdom, while Low-Saxon and Limburgish are recognized as non-standardized regional languages, and Yiddish and Sinte Romani as non-territorial minority languages in the European part of the Kingdom. The Dutch Sign Language is formally recognized as well. The largest minority language is (West) Frisian or Frysk, an official language in the province of Friesland (Fryslân). Frisian is a West Germanic language closely related to the Saterland Frisian and North Frisian languages spoken in Germany. The Frisian languages as a group are closer related to English than to Dutch or German. Frisian is spoken as a mother tongue by about 55% of the population in the province of Friesland, which translates to some 350,000 native speakers. In many rural areas a large majority speaks Frisian, while most cities have a Dutch-speaking majority. A standardized Frisian orthography was established in 1879 and reformed in 1945, 1980 and 2015.

Dat is kortweg het doel van het project ‘Varen doe je Samen!’. In het kader van dit project zijn ‘knooppunten’ op vaarwegen beschreven. Plaatsen waar beroepsvaart en recreatievaart elkaar ontmoeten en waar een gevaarlijke situatie kan ontstaan. Per regio krijgt u aanbevelingen hoe u deze drukke punten op het vaarwater vlot en veilig kunt passeren. De weergegeven kaarten zijn niet geschikt voor navigatiedoeleinden. Dat klinkt wat tegenstrijdig voor aanbevolen routes, maar hiermee is bedoeld dat de kaarten een aanvulling zijn op de officiële waterkaarten. Gebruik aan boord altijd de meest recente kaarten uit de 1800-serie en de ANWB-Wateralmanak. Neem in dit vaargebied ook de getijtafels en stroomatlassen (HP 33 Waterstanden en stromen) van de Dienst der Hydrografie mee. Op getijdenwater is de meest actuele informatie onmisbaar voor veilige navigatie.

Anne Wolff (Rijksuniversiteit Groningen) Het recreatielandschap van Ameland Een interdisciplinair onderzoek naar de historische ontwikkeling van de relatie tussen de recreatie en het landschap op Ameland tussen 1852 en 1980 3 Samenvatting Recreatie is een betrekkelijk nieuw verschijnsel, dat echter zijn stempel stevig op het landschap heeft gedrukt. Dit onderzoek richt zich op de recreatie aan zee, specifiek op het eiland Ameland. Hoe is de recreatie hier ontstaan, hoe reguleerde de lokale, regionale en nationale overheden de toeristenstroom en hoe pasten de Amelanders de recreatie in in de beperkte ruimte die het eiland verschaft? In het eerste deel staat het landschap van Ameland centraal. Hoe is Ameland ontstaan en met welke omstandigheden hebben de eilanders te doen gehad? Ook wordt er uiteengezet welke bodemtypen Ameland bevat en hoe een standaardeiland is opgebouwd. Dit verklaart de ligging van de dorpen en schijnt een licht op waar de ruimtelijke kansen voor recreatie lagen.

  • 1 Morphological Development of the Rif and The
    MORPHOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE RIF AND THE ENGELSMANPLAAT, AN INTERTIDAL FLAT COMPLEX IN THE FRISIAN INLET, DUTCH WADDEN SEA Z.B. Wang1 and A.P. Oost2 The Rif and the Engelsmanplaat form together a supra- to intertidal flat-complex at the fringe of the ebb-tidal delta and the back barrier area in the Frisian Inlet, located between the Dutch Wadden Sea Islands Ameland and Schiermonnikoog. The complex divides the Frisian Inlet into the Pinkegat Inlet in the west and the Zoutkamperlaag Inlet in the east. During the last decades the Engelsmanplaat has been suffering from serious erosion. This paper presents a study meant to find the causes for the recent erosion, especially to answer the question if the erosion is related to the human interferences in the area. The study is based on literature survey, data analysis and modelling of hydrodynamic processes. It is concluded that the recent erosion fits into the pseudo-cyclic development of the intertidal flat complex. However, the period of erosion may have been longer than normal and the rate of erosion may have been higher than normal. It is also concluded that such abnormal development is probably effects of the closure of the Lauwerszee in 1969 and not due to land subsidence caused by gas mining. Keywords: Intertidal flats, Wadden Sea, Land subsidence, Closure, Morphology, Long-term development INTRODUCTION The Rif and the Engelsmanplaat form together a supra- to intertidal flat-complex at the fringe of the ebb-tidal delta and the backbarrier area in the Frisian Inlet, located between the Dutch Wadden Sea Islands Ameland and Schiermonnikoog (Figure 1).

  • Ameland Algemeen
    Spreekbeurt informatie Inleiding Opgeweld uit wier en zand gans omspoelt door zilte baren Moge God het steeds bewaren: ons plekje, rijk aan duin en strand, het ons zo lieve Ameland! (Couplet van het Amelandse volkslied) Ameland Ameland is een van de vijf bewoonde Nederlandse Waddeneilanden in de Noordzee en behoort tot de provincie Friesland. Het eiland is 27 kilometer lang en op zijn breedste stuk 4 kilometer breed en het smalste punt is 2 kilometer breed. Ameland heeft ongeveer 3500 inwoners, de bewoners worden Amelanders genoemd. Ontstaan van Ameland Na de laatste ijstijd werd het klimaat warmer waardoor ijskappen smolten. Hierdoor steeg de zeespiegel met als gevolg dat de Noordzee ons land in snel tempo naderde. Dit had weer als gevolg dat er bodemveranderingen plaats gingen vinden. Zo vormde zich ten eerste een veenbodem op de grens van het land en het water. Vervolgens werd deze bodem bedekt met een, door de zee meegenomen en achtergelaten, laag klei en zand. Daarnaast zorgden golven en stromingen ervoor dat het zand meer en meer richting de kust gestuwd werd. Toen uiteindelijk het stijgen van de zeespiegel verminderde bleken er lange zandbanken te zijn ontstaan die nu de kans kregen hoger te worden. De zee bleef zand aanvoeren, maar voornamelijk door de groei van planten op de zandbanken en de wind ontstonden er duinen. Tijdens een volgende periode van enorme stijgingen van de zeespiegel sloeg de Noordzee grote gaten in de duinenrijen en de zandwallen. Er ontstonden eilanden en een Waddenzee. Vanaf toen bleken de zandbanken sterk genoeg om de ruwe zee te weren.

A globally unique Keywords: dataset of detailed bathymetric charts starting in the early 19th century, and high-resolution digital data since Ameland Inlet 1986 allows for detailed investigations of the ebb-tidal delta morphodynamics and sediment bypassing over a The Netherlands wide range of scales. The ebb-tidal delta exerts a large influence on the updrift and downdrift shorelines, leading Coastal morphodynamics to periodic growth and decay (net erosion) of the updrift (Terschelling) island tip, while sequences of sediment Ebb-tidal delta bypassing result in shoal attachment to the downdrift coastline of Ameland. Distinct differences in location, Sediment bypassing shape and volume of the attachment shoals result from differences in sediment bypassing, which can be driven Tidal inlet by morphodynamic interactions at the large scale of the inlet system (O(10 km)), and through interactions that Wadden Sea originate at the smallest scale of individual shoal instabilities (O(0.1 km)).
