Van dichter tot kopiist. Een dialectgeografisch onderzoek

Abstract - The author of the rhymed chronicle Van den derden Eduwaert (ca. 1350) says he lives in Antwerp; the scribe of the manuscript is supposed te be from Brussels. However, a number of disturbed rhymes can be explained only by assuming the presence of a more northern copyist. Moreover, verse internally northern forms appear beside Brabantish ones. With the help of the 'Onderzoeksprogramma Corpusgebaseerde Woordanalyse Vulet 88/9' the presence of a a Hollandish stratum has been made probable. Therefore, the possibility that many other texts that have been handed down comprise more than two layers, deserves serious investigation.
