In my corpus of Dutch Creole texts there are several eighteenth century variants of the same text. However, the chronological distance between the oldest and the youngest variants is only about forty years. In traditional philology, for instance of medieval texts, fifty years between the variants was already considered to be too close for reliable diachronic research. Can you help me with related literature? Thanks in advance!

Dear Cefas:
I suggest breaking with tradition and defining your own criterion, based on the specific requirements of your corpus, theoretical framwork, and methodology.
Best regards,
David

Very interesting Ivo. Thank you. Do you know Aone van Engelenhoven? I worked with him.
