Abstract:

This diploma thesis concerns the language phenomenon tussentaal - an informal variety of spoken Dutch in Belgium. The theoretical part describes first the development of Dutch language in Belgium with emphasis on the events that have shaped the form of the current spoken Flemish. The second chapter concerns the contemporary language situation in Flanders and introduces the language varieties of which the Flemish language continuum consists. In the third chapter, tussentaal is approached from different angles, e.g. different opinions of linguists on this topic, phonological, morphological, syntactic and lexical features of tussentaal, and the main areas of research. The main part of this thesis is the analysis of the utterances of the guests in the partly prepared radio interviews. The audio records and transcriptions of all the interviews were taken from the Spoken Dutch Corpus (Corpus Gesproken Nederlands). On basis of CGN, a smaller corpus, including approximately 40000 words has been set up. Finally, the findings of research are presented: Features of tussentaal were used by almost all the examined guests, which confirms the popularity of this language variety in the media and the Flemish society. Qualitative analysis have also revealed the reasons leading to the usage of tussentaal.
