(hoi Liliane) interesting.. you mean West Flemish does not have sequences like hij liep het bos in, de berg op, het dorp door etc?

Actually, this is not true: West Flemish (unlike Flemish dialects described in recent work by Lobke Aelbrecht) does not double the preposition.
As indicated in my initial antri: there are not postpositions of the time found in Dutch.

Thanks Liliane for setting this straight.
I deleted my original post to as not to perpetuate this conclusion. (West Flemish does not have doubling as I assumes it did)

So:
“Flemish doubles the P in het bos is
but West Flemish does not, and West Flemish does not have strings like het bos in

Nice use of forum to clarify the data!

cannot edit the post:but here it is with typos corrected:

“Flemish dialects as described in recent work by Lobke Aelbrecht doubles the P: in het bos in
but West Flemish does not
not does West Flemish have strings like “het bos in”
or “over de stoel heen”

It would be nice to use terraling to figure out the variability in this respect.
