Abstract

Peeter Heyns, master of a French school for girls in Antwerp, plays a central role in this chapter, which deals with the debates on language that took place in the context of such language schools in the early modern Low Countries. Teachers promoted their schools by presenting plurilingualism as beneficial for the fatherland. They further supported the patria by debating the spelling of both Dutch and French, but few of them wrote about gram-mar. Schoolmasters also rarely participated in the discussions on loanwords, but rather referred to eloquence and a rich vocabulary as ways to promote their schools and language manuals.
