Is Taalportaal theory neutral?
quickinfo

In principal, and as a general point of departure, the descriptions on Taalportaal are theory agnostic. In practise, however, it is inevitable that authors are influenced by their own theoretical backgrounds. This might become evident in their individual approaches to data, to certain descriptive conventions, to terminology, etc. Since we acknowledge that it is almost impossible to approach the task at hand with a theoretically blank slate, we did not even attempt to "cleanse" or "decontaminate" the topics during the final phase of editing. However, authors and moderators were encouraged to strive to be as theory neutral as possible, and to reserve theoretical discussions for the sections marked as "Extra" in each of the topics.
