摘要本文讨论了十八世纪和十九世纪初荷兰南部（佛兰德斯）的元语言话语和正字法实践。尽管人们对16世纪和17世纪荷兰语的标准化有很多了解，但在那之后发生的事情，特别是在南部地区，仍然有一部分是未知的。这篇文章将探讨和挑战通常与18世纪和19世纪早期弗兰德斯有关的语言衰落和语言混乱的神话。作者指出，在18世纪的荷兰南部，有一种生动而连贯的规范传统，特别是在正字法的层面上，即使是一种明显的正字法障碍，如所谓的重音拼写，也可以算作语言标准化的一个例子。
Abstract This paper discusses metalinguistic discourse and orthographical practice in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries in the southern Netherlands (‘Flanders’). Whereas a lot is known about Dutch language standardization in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, what happened after that, especially in the southern territories, is still partly uncharted territory. This contribution will examine and challenge the myths of language decline and linguistic chaos that are often associated with eighteenth and early nineteenth-century Flanders. The authors show that there was a vivid and coherent normative tradition, especially on the level of orthography, and that even a case of apparent orthographical disorder, such as the so-called accent spelling, can be counted as an instance of language standardization in the eighteenth-century southern Netherlands.
