Divergence of Dialects in a Linguistic Laboratory Near the Belgian-Dutch-German Border: Similar Dialects Under the Influence of Different Standard Languages.

Gerritsen, Marinel

Language Variation and Change, v11 n1 p43-65 1999

Deals with divergence on the lexical, phonological, and morphological levels in three dialects that were the same until the mid-20th century (Maaseiks in Belgium, Susters in the Netherlands, and Waldfeuchts in Germany) and that have changed under the influence of three different standard languages (Belgian Dutch, Netherlandic Dutch, and Standard Dutch).
