Johan De Caluwe, Georges De Schutter, Magda Devos, Jacques van Keymeulen). In de inleiding worden de pagina’s xxiii tot xliii ingenomen door een bibliografie van het wetenschappelijk werk tussen 1968 en 2003, met bovendien de aankondiging van een paar titels die op dat ogenblik nog ‘in druk’ waren. Die artikelen zijn inderdaad verschenen, en ze vormen de voorhoede van een imposante reeks boeken en bijdragen gepubliceerd tussen 2003 en 2013. In dat laatste jaar laste Johan, na de krachttoer van de redactie (samen met Frans Hins- kens) van Language and Space – Dutch, een wetenschappelijke pauze in. Die heeft door zijn snel verslechterende gezondheid veel langer geduurd dan oorspronkelijk gedacht. Het feit dat in 2017, het jaar van zijn overlijden, opnieuw drie bijdragen verschenen zijn, mag als een illustratie gelden van het feit dat hij zich opnieuw beter voelde. Dat bleek ook nog hieruit, dat hij een oude droom opnieuw had opgepakt: de realisatie van een lexicon van zijn thuisdialect, het Kleits, een onderneming die voorlopig uitgelopen is op een imposante verzameling geschreven kaartjes; want Taeldeman bleef tot zijn laatste snik gehecht aan papier en pen. Johan had ook nog een wetenschappelijk project in zijn droomwereld opgeslagen: tussen 1998 en 2005 waren, op basis van de imposante databestanden van het Neder- lands-Vlaamse Project-Goeman-Taeldeman (later aangeduid als GTRP (Goeman- Taeldeman-Van Reenen-Project)), vier delen verschenen van de FAND: deel I over het korte vocalisme van de Nederlandse dialecten, deel II over de verlengingspro- ducten van de Owg. korte vocalen, deel III over de oorspronkelijk lange klinkers, en deel IV over het consonantisme. Wat daarbij buiten beeld was gebleven, was de klank die zonder twijfel in elke Nederlandse taalvariëteit veruit de grootste frequen- tie heeft: de niet gespecificeerde vocaal sjwa. Ook die verdiende naar zijn oordeel een plaats in het panopticum van de Nederlandse klankgeografie. Het is natuurlijk wel zo dat in de verschenen FAND-delen hier en daar informatie te vinden is over sjwa in specifieke woorden, maar tot een systematische beschrijving is dat nooit uit- gegroeid. Tijdens de laatste jaren van zijn leven heeft hij meer dan eens de hoop uit- gesproken dat die lacune in onze kennis van de Nederlandse taalgeografie alsnog in- gevuld zou worden, en in zijn laatste levensmaanden had hij ook dat weer voorzich- VERSLAGEN EN MEDEDELINGEN van de KANTL, vol. 128, nr. 3, 2018; 213-214 © Georges De Schutter V&M.2018.3.book Page 214 Wednesday, October 30, 2019 10:03 AM tig als een mogelijk project naar voren geschoven. Het heeft niet meer mogen zijn, maar de artikelen die in dit herdenkingsnummer opgenomen worden gaan wel over diverse aspecten van de sjwa-problematiek. De aanzet tot dit bescheiden nummer gaat trouwens terug tot de periode dat wij Taeldeman nog onder ons hadden; de bedoeling was absoluut niet dat het sjwa-project in een herinneringsnummer voorgesteld zou worden, maar in een themanummer dat zijn volgende grote project zou uittekenen. Van die opzet is helaas niets meer gekomen. Aan het project hadden een zestal collega’s uit Vlaanderen, Franstalig België en Nederland hun medewerking toegezegd. Na Taeldemans overlijden heb ik het project aangepast. Ik ben wel blij dat hier uiteindelijk drie ruime bijdragen kunnen verschijnen die ook de drie pijlers van zijn den- ken over taal representeren: de historische klankleer, de Nederlandse taal- geografie en de sociale variatielinguïstiek. 214 / VERSLAGEN EN MEDEDELINGEN V&M.2018.3.book Page 215 Wednesday, October 30, 2019 10:03 AM Publicaties van Johan Taeldeman. Aanvulling over de jaren 2002-2017 bijeengebracht door Georges De Schutter & Lieve De Swaef In het volgende overzicht willen wij de taalkundige realisaties van de laatste 15 jaar van Taeldeman z’n wetenschappelijk leven inventariseren. Wij dalen af van de laat- ste artikelen, verschenen in 2017, tot de jaren 2002 en 2003. Voor die laatste jaren hebben wij, behalve de twee titels die al in het Liber Amicorum aangekondigd wor- den, nog twee toen niet vermelde of niet volledig gespecificeerde bijdragen toege- voegd. Als basis voor dit overzicht hebben de jaarlijkse overzichten gediend die Lieve De Swaef in naam van haar echtgenoot tot 2013 aan de redactie van Verslagen en Mededelingen van de Koninklijke Academie voor Nederlandse Taal en Letter- kunde bezorgd heeft.

  • The Linguistic Territoriality Principle: Right Violation Or Parity of Esteem ?
    THE LINGUISTIC TERRITORIALITY PRINCIPLE: RIGHT VIOLATION OR PARITY OF ESTEEM ? Foreword by Paul De Grauwe & Philippe Van Parijs Lead Piece and Reply by Philippe Van Parijs Comments by Helder De Schutter François Grin Alain Maskens Henry Tulkens Harry Van Velthoven Jan Velaers Re-Bel e-book 11 | October 2011 The Re-Bel initiative aims to rethink in depth, in an open, rigorous, non-partisan way, what the institutions of the Belgian federal state - or of whatever else this part of the world needs to become - can and must look like in the longer term, taking full account of the evolving European context. The Re-Bel initiative does not aim to produce one programme or manifesto to which everyone involved could subscribe. Its ambition is rather to provide a fertile intellectual environment in which new ideas and promising initiatives of all sorts can germinate and develop, with a concern for their relevance to a thorough reform of Belgium's institutions, but also to the institutional design of other complex polities, most obviously the European Union. The Re-Bel initiative involves scholars from all Belgian universities, runs a web site, publishes e-books and organizes workshops and public events. It intends to associate to its activities both foreign colleagues and the Brussels-based international community. The working language will usually be English. The Re-Be initiative is supported by the University Foundation, which will host all its activities. The University Foundation was founded in Brussels in 1920 at the initiative of Herbert Hoover and Emile Francqui. One of its missions, also central in the Re-Bel initiative, is to foster fruitful contacts and collaboration between academics of all Belgian universities.

INDONESIA Law Review 9(2): 83–132 http://dx.doi.org/10.15742/ilrev.v9n2.537 ESL 2 Erasmus School of Law AbstRact Law Number 24 of 2009 on the National Flag, Language, Emblem, and Anthem of Indonesia requires that any contract involving an Indonesian party must be drafted in Indonesian. In applying this law, the Supreme Court of the Republic of Indonesia, in the Nine AM v. PT Bangun Karya Pratama Lestari judgment, annulled a loan agreement because it was considered in violation of the language require- ment. Although this judgment claims to strengthen the use of the Indonesian language in contracts, it underscores the potential risk of voidance foreign parties face when they enter into agreements drafted in foreign languages with Indone- sian counterparties. On the other side of the hemisphere, the Court of Justice of the European Union in Anton Las v. PSA Antwerp NV and New Valmar BVBA v. Global Pharmacies Partner Health Srl drew the public’s attention to the obligation to use Dutch in employment contracts and company documents as imposed in the Dutch- speaking region of Belgium. Despite Indonesia and Belgium being geographically far from each other, the abovementioned judgments underline the phenomenon that national language still influences cross-border legal relationships.

  • Growth and Development of Standard Dutch in Belgium
    Roland Willemyns & Piet van de Craen Growth and Development of Standard Dutch in Belgium 0. Standardization is not a linguistic change affecting large areas of groups and peoples simultaneously and to the same extent, but an ongoing change affecting certain areas and certain groups of people in different ways. In this paper we intend to analyze the growth and the development of Dutch in Flanders, i. e. the part of Belgium (occupying 43 Vo of the national territory and compris- ing 57Vo of the population) where Dutch is the sole official language.l Dutchspeaking inhabitants of bilingual Brussels are also part of this community but there are no official figures as to the number of Dutch and French speakers in the capital (information concerning the complicated linguistic make up of Brussels is to be found in De Vriendt & Willemyns 1987). Flanders shares its official language with Belgium's northern neighbour, the Nether- lands. After a historical survey, this paper will focus on standardization after Belgium's independence (1830) and the present-day standardization processes; finallywe shall turn to the language situation of Brussels, since this city is considered to have a considerable impact on the linguistic evolution in Belgium. 1. Historical Survey 1.1. Unlike some other Germanic languages there are only a few written records of Dutch before the 12th century. Although there is no doubt that Dutch was used in writing earlier than then, we have to wait until the second half of the 13th century to see the beginning of an uninterrupted written tradition.2 What is clear from this early period is the contrast between an eastern and a western variety and since the overwhelming majority of all texts produced had western features it is certain that the language of the west prevailed.

  • Roland Willemyns Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium
    Dutch Roland Willemyns Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium 1. Introduction Even as of today the famous medieval animal epic Van den Vos Reynaerde (‘Reynard the Fox’) is still considered by many critics to be the most outstanding piece of literature ever written in Dutch. It was originally created during the thirteenth century in the County of Flanders, the southwestern part of the language territory, and consequently, it was written in Flemish, the then most prestigious variety of Dutch. In present day Standard Dutch, though, Flemish is not the most prominent component anymore. Yet, it certainly has contributed massively to the codiªcation and elaboration of the Dutch language. In the present article I will analyze the (extra-)linguistic factors that account for this evolution. Dutch is the/an o¹cial language of three countries: Belgium, The Netherlands and Surinam. As far as the standardization process is concerned, the evolution in the latter country is not relevant and will, consequently, not be discussed here. For the same reason I will not go into the situation in the Dutch overseas territories known as The Antilles (i.e. Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao and some smaller islands in the Caribbean). The Kingdom of Belgium (10 million inhabitants) is a trilingual and federal country, consisting of four diŸerent language areas: the Dutch speaking commu- nity (called Flanders; 58% of the population), the French speaking one (called Wallonia; 32%), the small German speaking community (0.6%) and the Dutch- French bilingual community of Brussels (9.5%). Since regional governments have legislative powers the frontiers of their jurisdiction, being language borders, are deªned in the constitution (TreŸers and Willemyns 2002).

  • Typological Differences Between Northern and Southern Dutch in View of History and Language Contact
    Tagung Aktuelle Forschungen zur linguistischen Luxemburgistik, 9-11 Oktober 2008 Typological differences between Northern and Southern Dutch in view of history and language contact. Roland Noske Lille 3 University, CNRS UMR 8163 STL [email protected] http://perso.univ-lille3.fr/~rnoske 0 The Dutch language area. (Brussels is bilingual (but mostly French speaking), Friesland in the North is ‘double-lingual’.) 1 0. A little bit of history In the Middle Ages: the County of Flanders and, to a much lesser extent, the Duchy of Brabant, are bilingual Dutch (Low- Franconian)/French (and/or Picardian). In, e.g, Kortrijk/Courtrai half the population was French-speaking. There is a rich medieval literature in Dutch, predominantly from Flanders and Brabant. From 1568: War of independence against Spanish Habsburg, successful in the North. From 1600 onwards: the newly founded Republic of the Seven United Netherlands becomes an economic and political superpower and by far the most prosperous country in Europe. Grammarians like Spieghel create a supra-regional language. The bible translation (Statenbijbel) of 1637 is of great influence on the language. In the South: 1585 Fall of Antwerp to the Spanish army. Definitive separation of the North and the South. A prosperous part of the population flees to the North. Recatholicization, empoverishment, foreign domination in the South. French becomes more and more dominant from ± 1700 onwards. Flemish (pars pro toto for all Netherlandic dialects in the South) becomes more and more confined to private homes and rural areas. 2 1543 3 1815-1830: United Kingdom of the Netherlands, created by the Vienna congress.
