De Vaan M. Historical Development of Dutch Phonology & morphology, dialects & stages

Leiden Summer School in Languages and Linguistics 9 – 20 July, 2018. — 137 p.This reader combines elements from three main sources: van Loon’s Historische Fonologie van het Nederlands (20142), by far the most linguistic introduction to Dutch historical phonology; Jan Goossens’ Dialectgeografische Grondslagen van een Nederlandse Taalgeschiedenis (2008); and my own research, large parts of it published in De Vaan 2017 and in some articles. Other literature has been referenced in the bibliography. I have
generally not indicated the individual source of each claim – and of course much of what I discuss is common knowledge. As this reader is a preliminary version, it is not to be cited as a work of reference.
There is no guarantee that I will manage to deal with all these topics in class, nor that the teaching will be restricted to the topics mentioned in this reader.
