Hun doen allemaal van die rare woorden, weet je. Leonie Cornips Abstract This paper concerns the use of the plural personal pronoun hun instead of zij as subject in (regional) standard Dutch. The use of hun is a systematic change that is nearing completion since members of the community have become aware of it and it is an overt topic of social comment (stereotype). In addition to Nijmegen and the IJsselmeerpolders, the use of hun as subject has also spread to the south of Heerlen very quickly. In Nijmegen, young women use hun significantly more often than young men. It is said that these women are ahead in the process of language change and that they are speaking more standard Dutch than men of the same age. However, in the multicultural and multilingual neighbourhood Lombok/Transvaal in Utrecht young women are displaying negative attitudes towards the use of hun and, what is more, unlike in Nijmegen they do not use hun in their spontaneous speech. Instead, they use all kinds of different expressions which are unknown in standard Dutch. It is assumed that this behaviour can be accounted for only by taking the inherent group (in-group versus outgroup) norms of these women into consideration

It also opens up a new terrain for sociolinguistic and linguistic anthropological study, namely the margins. Rural, as well as urbanized areas that are seen as marginal or peripheral to places that are overtly recognized as mixed and hybridized have received relatively little sociolinguistic attention. Yet, people living in these supposedly less `spectacular' margins are not immune to the effects of globalization and rapid technological change. They too constantly form new ensembles from linguistic and cultural resources which they invest with novel, instable, often ambiguous meanings. This volume focusses on the purportedly unspectacular in order to achieve a full understanding of the relation between language, place and belonging. The contributors to this volume, therefore, focus on language practices analyzing them as dialectically related to political-economic processes and language ideologies.Introduction: belonging through linguistic place-making in center-periphery constellations / Leonie Cornips and Vincent A.

Cité Duits::A polyethnic miners’ variety
No full textIn the late 1930s and 1940s, locally born children of immigrant coal miners in Tuinwijk, a neighborhood in the village of Eisden in Belgian Limburg, developed a way of speaking among themselves which they later labelled Cité Duits. Having become coal miners themselves, they continued to use Cité Duits as an in-group language throughout their lives when working underground as well as in their private lives. We will show that Cité Duits is a hybrid variety resulting from combining elements of German, Belgian Dutch and the Maasland dialect spoken in Belgian Limburg through focusing and sedimentation. We argue that Cité Duits developed and continues to be employed as a symbolic language for expressing group identity.</p
