The fascination with the history, grammar, spelling, and vocabulary of Dutch and French has been studied mainly from monolingual perspectives tracing the development towards modern Dutch or French. Van de Haar shows that the discussions on these languages were rooted in multilingual environments, in particular in French schools, Calvinist churches, printing houses, and chambers of rhetoric. The proposals that were formulated there to forge Dutch and French into useful forms were not directed solely at uniformization but were much more diverse". 410 0$aBrill's Studies in Intellectual History;$vvolume 305. 606 $aDutch language$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aFrench language$zNetherlands$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aLanguages in contact$zNetherlands$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aMultilingualism$zNetherlands$xHistory$y16th century 615 0$aDutch language$xHistory 615 0$aFrench language$xHistory 615 0$aLanguages in contact$xHistory 615 0$aMultilingualism$xHistory 676 $a306.4460949 700 $aHaar$b Alisa van de$01574529 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910793875203321 996 $aThe golden mean of languages$93850834 997 $aUNINA
