In this paper, we report on the construction of a linguistically annotated pilot corpus ofthe southern Dutch dialects, based on existing tape recordings from the 1960s and 1970s.The corpus provides audio aligned transcriptions in two layers, one closer to the dialectand one closer to Standard Dutch, the latter of which is part-of-speech and syntacticallytagged. The corpus is intended to facilitate large-scale research into the syntactic pecularitiesof the southern Dutch dialects, which could not be researched systematically on alarge scale in an easily reproducible way yet. Two short case studies concerning suchpeculiarities, i.e. V2 violations and the retention of the old preverbal negation particle, arepresented in this paper to support the need for the corpus.
