Abstract

In dit artikel wordt verslag gedaan van een onderzoek naar het lexicon van het Leeg Duits, de taal die tot in de twintigste eeuw in de Amerikaanse staten New York en New Jersey gesproken werd. De analyse belicht enkele aspecten van dit lexicon aan de hand van drie nog niet onderzochte woordenlijsten: die van John Dyneley Prince (1910), Lawrence G. van Loon (1938) en Walter Hill (eind 19ᵉ eeuw). Uit de resultaten van de analyse van deze woordenlijsten blijkt dat het Leeg Duits in zeer geringe mate beï is door andere talen (het batreft bijna uitsluitend Engelse woorden) en dat de gevonden leenwoorden in allerlei semantische woordvelden voorkomen.

Additional Information:	Title (English): An analysis of three word lists of Low Dutch Abstract (English): This paper presents the first analysis of the lexicon of Low Dutch, a language spoken between 18th and 20th century in the states of New York and New Jersey in the U.S.A. It focuses on three previously undescribed wordlists of Low Dutch: the list of John Dyneley Prince (1910), the list of Lawrence G. van Loon (1938) and the list of Walter Hill (?1890). The analysis sheds light on a number of lexical aspects of Low Dutch. It shows that Low Dutch was influenced by English but, at the same time, the influence of English was minimal. The analysis also reveals that other languages spoken in the states of New York and New Jersey at that time (i.e. French, German, Lenape and Mohawk), had almost no impact on Low Dutch. The work presented in this paper has important implications for future studies of Low Dutch in the future.
