This paper reports on the use of twelve supposedly pan-Flemish<br>substandard features by Flemish teenagers in a large corpus of informal chat conversations<br>(more than two million words), in which both the central Brabantic area and the<br>eastern and western peripheral provinces are represented. It investigates the extent to<br>which the data corroborate this homogenization hypothesis. From a methodological point<br>of view, it intends to check whether research on written chat data offers a valid alternative<br>for variational linguistic research on spoken language.</p>}, month = {2}, pages = {199-218}, issn = {2736-2175}, publisher={Koninklijke Zuid-Nederlandse Maatschappij voor Taal- en Letterkunde en Geschiedenis}, journal = {Handelingen - Koninklijke Zuid-Nederlandse maatschappij voor taal- en letterkunde en geschiedenis} }
