本文仅限于描述比利时的荷兰语-法语部分的语言边界波动。在简要描述了比利时所谓的“语言问题”之后，一般性地讨论了语言边界的概念。然后概述了比利时语言边界的地位和功能以及迄今为止发生的实际语言边界波动。更详细地讨论了两个问题区域：“Voerstreek”和布鲁塞尔郊区。随后分析了布鲁塞尔的语言侵蚀和变化，以及语言立法、语言规划和社会语言学发展在这一过程中所发挥的作用。最后，制定了语言边界变化的类型学，并确定了变化的模式，以解释和说明罗曼语-日耳曼语言边界的比利时部分几乎独特的性质。
This article is restricted to a description of language border fluctuations in Belgium as far as its Dutch-French portion is concerned. After a brief description of the so-called 'language question' in Belgium the notion of language border is discussed in general. Then comes an overview of the status and function of the language border in Belgium and of the actual language border fluctuations as they have occurred up to the present day. Two problem areas: the 'Voerstreek' and the Brussels suburban region are discussed in more detail. Afterwards language shift and change through erosion in Brussels are analysed as well as the part played in that process by linguistic legislation, language planning and sociolinguistic developments. Finally a typology of language border change is drawn up and the patterns of change are identified in order to explain and account for the almost unique nature of the Belgian portion of the Romance-Germanic language border.
