Weijnen tussen noord en zuid

This contribution evaluates the role and position of Weijnen in dialectological debates about the relationships between the Netherlands in the north and Flanders in the south. This is done on the basis of the reception of Weijnen’s most important works by studying the book reviews of his Flemish colleagues. It is examined how critical comments from Flemish origin were dealt with in reissues of these works and in other scientific work by Weijnen. Finally, it is investigated how Weijnen dealt with Flemish issues and phenomena in his own work.
