Resumen
STAPHORST, Luan. Oranjerivierafrikaans: 'n Argeologiese genealogie. Deel III: 19801998. SPiL plus (Online) [online]. 2024, vol.68, pp.45-63. ISSN 2224-3380. http://dx.doi.org/10.5842/68-1-940.
This third part of a four-part article series investigates the history of sociolinguistics relative to Orange River Afrikaans, one of Afrikaans's three main dialect continuas, from the period 1980 to 1998. Grounded in linguistic historiography broadly construed, and Michel Foucault's archaeological and genealogical orientations specifically, this part of the article sketches how the intellectual history of Orange River Afrikaans in this period can be divided into two Zeitgeists - the time of dialectology of 1980-1998 and the time of language identity since 1980. This period sees the height of Afrikaans fieldwork dialectology. The writings and research of Christo van Rensburg, Hans du Plessis, Hendrina Nieuwoudt, Vic Webb, Hans den Besten and Gabriël Nienaber are discussed. Through this, the article series challenges four central and dominant presuppositions on Orange River Afrikaans, namely that there are limited sources available relative to it, that it constitutes an "invisible" language form, that it can be typified as an expression of Black Afrikaans, and that Kaaps (Cape Afrikaans), rather than Orange River Afrikaans, should be regarded as the "oldest" form of Afrikaans.
