During the last decades, a new type of spoken 'general' Dutch has
developed, which is of sociolinguistic interest for several reasons.
First of all, it seems to be spoken mostly by younger women (up
to the age of 40) from the higher middle classes (scientists, writers,
artists, politicians). Secondly, this new variety seems to have
attained a certain amount of prestige, although it differs in many
ways from Standard Dutch. It appears to be spreading rapidly among
other social groups, such as younger women from the lower classes,
and among younger men (in their thirties) from the higher and middle
classes.
The new Dutch has recently been named Poldernederlands ('Polder
Dutch'). Research projects are now being performed to test these
observations.
The following papers on 'Polder Dutch' and Standard Dutch in general
have been published or have been submitted for publication.
